About
Quick facts: A peaceful 7-hectare urban garden features winding paths, centuries-old olive trees, and flowering shrubs. It was once part of a royal hunting estate and offers a cool retreat within the city's old walls.
Highlights: Catch the enchanting lotus ponds with pink flowers and the 18th-century aqueduct that still channels fresh water through the gardens. Birdsong fills the air as local pigeons and doves flutter among orange and fig trees, creating a natural soundtrack.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes for walking on uneven garden paths.
- The lotus ponds offer stunning photo opportunities during golden hour.
- Avoid midday heat by visiting early or late in the day.
- Explore the quieter back sections where fewer tourists venture.
