Jardines de Puerta Oscura, Mediterranean garden on Gibralfaro slopes, Málaga, Spain.
The Jardines de Puerta Oscura spans multiple terraces featuring cypress trees, Canary palms, Aleppo pines, bougainvillea, and jacaranda across its landscaped grounds.
Architect Fernando Guerrero-Strachan Rosado designed these gardens in 1937 to frame the remaining walls of the Alcazaba fortification complex.
The gardens incorporate traditional Andalusian landscaping elements while presenting a space for community gatherings and environmental education in central Málaga.
Located behind the City Hall, the gardens provide easy access through various walking paths and include multiple seating areas throughout the different levels.
The garden takes its name from an ancient gate called Puerta Oscura, which marked the entrance to a shaded passageway in medieval times.
