Líthica-Pedreres de s’Hostal, Botanical garden in Ciutadella, Spain
The five-hectare garden complex features stone walls, indigenous plants, and fruit trees integrated into a former limestone quarry landscape.
The quarry supplied calcarenite blocks for local architecture until 1994, when the Lithica Foundation initiated its transformation into a botanical garden.
The gardens incorporate stone mazes, herb labyrinths, and outdoor art installations that demonstrate traditional Menorcan stone-cutting methods.
Entry costs 4 euros from March to October with reduced rates for seniors and children, while access is free during winter months.
The garden paths wind through deep quarry walls, creating distinct microclimates that support different plant species throughout the transformed industrial site.
