Villa Ružić, named after its owner Viktor Ružić, is important first for its architecture (projected by architect David Brunetta) but mainly because it stores a wide collection of 10,000 books. The collection includes Ivan Mažuranić’s library and his archive; the manuscript of Gundulić’s epic poem "Osman" from 1647 — a gift from Petar Petrović Njegoš. Alongside the Memorial library, you'll find a wide collection of photographs, documents and antique furniture.

The Botanical Garden or 'Botanique' is steeped in history. From the Middle Ages this green oasis was the garden of the former 'commanderij van Pitzemburg', order of knights. After its abolition, in the nineteenth century the garden was turned into an English landscape garden for members of the elitist Société Royale d'Horticulture. After the First World War it opened to the public as a municipal park. In the middle of the Botanical Garden is a statue of the celebrated scientist Rembert Dodoens. In the sixteenth century he wrote a highly acclaimed herbal called the 'Cruydenboek'. These days the Botanical Garden is a quiet and very pleasant park where you can enjoy the plant life while the children let off steam in the playground.
