The Giardini Botanici Hanbury (also known as La Mortola, or Hanbury Botanical Garden, or Villa Hanbury), on the cape of Mortola, are major botanical gardens operated by the University of Genoa. The gardens were founded by Sir Thomas Hanbury, a British entrepreneur, after he had made his fortune in China.
Long staircase near the side of a building and through the trees in La Mortola botanical garden. A doorway is visible on the side of the stone building and two large potted plants are on either side of the stairway. Trees come together to enclose the upper part of the staircase.
