Description

The gardens were designed by French landscape gardener, Jean Claude Forestier in 1912. Casa del Rey Moro was built in the 18th Century and features a Water Mine, a "secret" passage that enabled workers to bring water up to the house from the Guadelevin River below. The passage goes through many chambers, including the "Room of Secrets."
