The province of Cordoba is home to a variety of gardens. The oldest walled garden in Europe, an orange grove beside the Mosque, dates from the 8th century. Gardens from the time of the caliphs can be found in the Alcazar of Los Reyes Cristianos, with characteristic terraced pools, and nearby in Medina-Azahara. The palace of the Prince of Viana boasts a garden and 11 courtyards covering the Renaissance and Baroque periods, restored by the owners at the beginning of this century.
During this century, the landscaped Cruz Conde park was opened, as well as the gardens of La Merced, of the Faculty of Veterinarians, Colegio Mayor Nuestra Sra de La Asunción and, more recently, the zoo and Botanical Gardens with three greenhouses, plants found in the peninsula, an area devoted to plants useful to man from several parts of the world, as a complement to the ethnographical museum housed in the interior and a curious garden for the blind containing aromatic plants with labels in Braille.
Jaén, on the other hand, is known for its two parks, La Concordia and Alameda de Adolfo Suarez. These green spaces offer a tranquil escape in the heart of the city and are a testament to the region's commitment to preserving and celebrating its natural beauty.
