In the Lent neighbourhood beside the Drava grows the oldest fruit-bearing vine in the world.
This 440-year-old plant works its way along a trellis on the historic building’s facade, and its three trunks are fenced off by iron railings.
The earliest record of the vine is from 1657, and it’s remarkable to think of all the calamities it has survived, from the two World Wars to the phylloxera blight in the 1800s.
