Jardín de Montforte

Jardín de Monforte is a historic city garden in Valencia where symmetrical gardens, fountains and classical sculptures create a surprisingly peaceful spot right in the heart of the city.

Why you really want to visit this place

Whilst the hustle and bustle of Valencia is nearby, here you can stroll amongst perfectly trimmed hedges, colourful flowerbeds and marble statues. The garden was laid out in the nineteenth century in the French neoclassical style and feels almost like a hidden outdoor room. Narrow paths wind past ponds, fountains and romantic nooks where you can easily linger for a while. The park is smaller than Turia Park, but that’s precisely what makes it intimate and easy to navigate. A lovely spot for a peaceful stroll, a short break or to discover a different side of Valencia.
