Spanish gardens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spain has a long tradition of making gardens. Significant gardens were made by:

• the Romans
• the Islamic rulers of Southern Spain (for example, the Alhambra, the Palmeral of Elche)
• owners of castle in the medieval period
• Christian kings during the Renaissance and Baroque periods (for example, the La Granja)
• landowning and business families during the Romantic and Modern periods (for example, the Park Guell)

In twenty-first century Spain, gardens are designed by horticulturalists, architects and landscape architecture professions.
