TRSTENO, a village 24 km northwest of Dub-rovnik; population 240. Known for its mild Mediterranean climate, rich vegetation and several potable water springs. It is famous for its arboretum (within the Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences).

 

 

 

Trsteno is one of the most beautiful resorts in Dubrovnik surroundings, particularly distinguished by its arboretum which represents the oldest landscaped Renaissance park in Dalmatia (according to the inscription of 1502) and the only arboretum on the whole Mediterranean region of Croatia. Exotic plants are amply represented, and the two, more than 400-year-old gigantic plane-trees, being unique in whole Europe, rise on the square.
 
The park (arboretum) with exotic plants (gigantic plane-trees, palm-trees, camphor-trees) is adorned with stone pillars, and in 1736 a Baroque fountain featuring Neptune and nymphs was erected.
