Neoclassical
The Garden of Monforte was paid for by Juan Bautista Romero, a rich Valencian landowner. The aim was to make his vacation house on what had been the orchard of Baron Llaurí. He invested heavily in the planting and beautification, starting construction in 1959. In 1941 it was declared an Artistic Garden by the Ministry of Education.
It is a neoclassical garden with ponds, fountains and 33 marble statues, among which are those of Neptune, Hermes and Dionysus, Tobias on a sea monster, Flora and a sculpture of Dioscuri.
The vegetation is distributed between two distinct areas: geometrically trimmed hedges of French style, and a romantic cut with lush trees of good size. Highlights include the pines, magnolias, laurels, ginkgo biloba and rose bushes.
