Santa Clotild Gardens
Passeig dels Jardins, 17310 Lloret de Mar, Spain
Description:
In 1920, the Santa Clotild Garden was laid on top of a cliff by 28-year-old architect Nikolau Rubia. According to the author’s idea, his creation should resemble a Renaissance garden. The gardens were named after the first wife of the Marquis Roviralt, who died at a very early age.
The total area of the gardens is about 23.830 square meters. Their creator sought to create a garden in the style of the Italian Renaissance, which is characterized by garden architecture with several tiers of terraces, with a lot of free space and harmoniously located vegetation. Picturesque landscapes, several terraces, murmuring streams with clear water, grottoes, ponds, fountains and waterfalls have turned this garden into a pearl of the Mediterranean coast.
In 1995, the official authorities of Catalonia recognized the gardens of Santa Clotild as an object of national heritage, a monument of special historical and cultural value. And to this day, the gardens of Santa Clotild have been preserved simply in excellent condition and continue to please guests with its beauty.
