Zhilibert Park
Парк Жылібера
The former site of a botanical garden founded in the 18th century by French botanist Zhilibert. It is now a green leisure park on the north side of the Old Town.
In the 1770s, the French botanist Jean-Emmanuel Zhilibert was invited to Grodno. He founded the city's first botanical garden and medical school, and the park takes its name from him. Today the park is known for its tree-lined walkways, fountains, and sculptures. It is full of flowers in spring and summer and is a favorite place for locals to stroll and meet. The Orzeszkowa House Museum and the Cathedral of the Holy Protection are both nearby. It's a good place to rest while walking around the Old Town.
