Jardíns de Cap Roig, Botanical garden and historicist castle in Cap Roig, Spain.
Jardíns de Cap Roig is a garden and castle complex on a rocky cliff along Spain's Mediterranean coast. The grounds feature distinct sections with thousands of plant species, sculptures, and pathways overlooking the seaside.
The site was established in the 1920s when two foreigners built a medieval-style castle using materials salvaged from old Catalan buildings. This founding period created the foundation for today's combination of structure and landscaped grounds.
The gardens served as a summer festival venue where international musicians performed on a natural stage set among plants and sculptures. These musical events shaped how people experienced the place over the years.
Visitors should plan adequate time to explore the different garden sections and enjoy the coastal views. Sturdy footwear is important as the paths cross uneven, rocky terrain along the cliff edge.
Different garden sections have their own names, including one where the founders gathered for tea and which remains identified today. This detail connects the founders' personal history with what visitors encounter now.
