thumb Garden of Palms, Dutch: Palmentuin, is a palm tree landscape garden in Paramaribo, Suriname. In addition to tall royal palms, the grounds are home to tropical birds and a "troop" of capuchin monkeys.〔(Palmentuin ) Lonely Planet〕 Palmentuin is located on Van Roseveltkade behind the Presidential Palace of Suriname and is a tourist attraction.〔 Royal palms were planted on the grounds by order of Cornelis van Aerssen van Sommelsdijck Governor of Suriname from 1683-1688. He opened the garden to the public in 1685. He was murdered in 1688 by a group of mutinous soldiers. Afterwards the garden was closed to the public until in the early 20th century. The park includes a playground and on holidays there are stalls. In 2002, the city of Paramaribo was put on on the World Heritage List at the UN and the garden was cited specifically as a feature.〔(Historic Inner City of Paramaribo ) UNESCO〕 In 2009, the UNESCO made US $147,000 available to refurbish the palm garden. ==Gallery== File:Tropenmuseum Royal Tropical Institute Objectnumber 60012332 Portret van een groep feestelijk uitg.jpg|Festively attired Arawak Indians in the Palm Garden (Palmentuin) behind the Government House (Gouvernementshuis), late 19th century File:Tropenmuseum Royal Tropical Institute Objectnumber 60006332 Portret van een Hindoestaanse maverko.jpg|A woman selling corn at the garden circa 1920 File:Tropenmuseum Royal Tropical Institute Objectnumber 60008852 De Palmentuin acher het Gouvernements.jpg|Late 19th century photo File:Overzicht van de palmentuin - Paramaribo - 20417690 - RCE.jpg| File:Tropenmuseum Royal Tropical Institute Objectnumber 60006319 Groepje hindoestaanse kinderen in de.jpg|Circa 1920 File:Overzicht van de palmentuin - Paramaribo - 20417695 - RCE.jpg| 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Garden of Palms」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
