Valencia boasts a wide range of parks and gardens that contribute significantly to the city’s charm, with the former riverbed of the Turia being the most prominent. This green space has become an essential part of the city's identity, offering a serene area for locals and visitors alike. Beyond the Turia, two notable gardens in the Pla del Real neighborhood are the Viveros and Monforte gardens. The Viveros, originally the site of an Arab summer residence and later a Royal Palace, has evolved into a municipal garden adorned with commemorative statues, fountains, and a diverse array of tree species. It has a rich history, marked by its transformation into a beautiful public space in the 20th century. The Monforte Garden, designed in a neoclassical style, is known for its serene atmosphere, featuring elegant statues, vases, and meticulously trimmed hedges. Its romantic charm is further enhanced by ornamental fountains, beautiful flowers, and marble statues, making it a beloved destination. This garden is considered the last remaining historical-artistic garden of the 19th century in Valencia, adding to its cultural significance.
