Gardens Alfabia

Our last stop on this tour will take us to the Gardens of Alfabia. The gardens of Alfabia in Mallorca, is one of the best cultural activities that can be performed in the Balearic Islands. These wonderful gardens also contain a historic house, containing any intriguing valuable elements. After the conquest of the Balearic Islands by James I the Conqueror, the monarch gave the property to his uncle, Nuño of Roussillon, who in turn sold it to the Moorish Ben-Ast family.

The Zaforteza family

Later it passed through several hands, reaching the Zaforteza family, the actual owners of the property today.
The family house was built in the fifthteen century, while in the later seventeenth century the Baroque façade was added. The courtyard of the house features a fountain with a sculpture of a boy and a fish.

The gardens are located at the back of the building; highlighting a cistern covered by a barrel vault as well as a pergola with columns 72 and 24 stone hydras. The water from the cistern supplies the garden – which then falls down the slope to the lower tier, to the orange groves below. In the nineteenth century, they added a new type of landscape garden – including a lake populated by water lilies and surrounded by palm trees.
