Valencia's Monforte Garden: A Historical Oasis Preserved

Edited by: Anulyazolotko Anulyazolotko

Located in Plaza de la Legión Española, the Monforte Garden in Valencia offers a tranquil escape. This neoclassical garden, spanning approximately 12,000 square meters, is the last historical-artistic garden from the 19th century remaining in the city.

The garden's origins trace back to 1849, when the Marquis of San Juan acquired the orchard to create a recreational space. Architect Sebastián Monleón Estellés designed the garden, blending neoclassical and romantic elements.

Key features include 33 Italian marble statues, ornamental fountains, and a lily-shaped pond. It also houses century-old magnolias, laurels, and ginkgos, enhancing the natural beauty. The garden is open daily, except for December 25 and January 1.
