Huerto del Cura, Historic garden in Elche, Spain.
The garden spans 13,361 square meters and contains over one thousand palm trees, numerous Mediterranean plants, and multiple water features with fish.
The garden received its name from chaplain José Castaño Sánchez, who owned and maintained the property until 1918, building a chapel and residence.
The garden displays several sculptures, including a reproduction of the Lady of Elche and a bust of James I of Aragon from 1265.
Visitors can explore the garden with an audio guide for 6 euros, accessing it through multiple bus lines or parking at the nearby Saba Porta Morera.
The Imperial Palm, dedicated to Empress Elisabeth of Austria in 1894, stands as the central attraction with branches weighing over eight tons.
