Moratalla Estate Garden

These gardens were created around 1910-1915 on an Andalusian estate belonging to the Marquis of Viana to convert it into a recreational residence and starting point for montería. The gardens were designed by Jean-Claude Nicolas Forestier and integrate the French style with the neo-Sevillan style created by him. A large avenue between the façade of the palace-house and the ornamental entrance gate runs through seven slightly sunken formal lawn terraces. On the terraces there are various whimsical motifs such as fountains, benches and tables, serpentine paths made of brick and tile. The rest of the garden area follows a more intimate style, slightly romantic, wooded and shady.Temporarily closed for renovations.
