Alhambra Generalife Gardens date back to the thirteenth century and are a stunning example of Islamic-style garden areas with their water channels and layout. While bougainvillaea and pomegranate trees abound in the garden, visitors can also find medicinal plants, ornamental plants, and aromatic plants.
Medicinal plants like iris, ivy, laurel, lavender, thyme, rosemary and sage have been cultivated at Alhambra Gardens for centuries. The ornamental plants, which were introduced at different periods throughout the centuries, include magnolia, cypress, oleander, wisteria, trumpet creeper, and roses. Among the key highlights are the aromatic plants like jasmine and Seville oranges, which uplifted spirits and also had medicinal purposes.
