Santa Clotilde Gardens

The Santa Clotilde gardens in Lloret de Mar are set in a natural amphitheatre overlooking the sea.

They cover a surface area of 26.830 square metres, and the upper esplanade stands 50 metres above sea level. The gardens are currently property of Lloret de Mar town Council. At the begining of the twentieth century, Doctor Roviralta bought the land to built a house and gardens. The design was entrusted to Nicolau M. Rubio i Tadurí, who in time was to become the maximum exponent of Catalan landscape architecture.

Santa Clotilde Gardens were designed along Italia Renaissance lines: terraced gardens with ample views on the surrounding area and harmonically arranged native species. The balance between space, volume and colour is set off by certain ornamental elements which form various points of interest of great beauty.

The sculptures are placed in the garden to create different points of interest. There are sculptural groups associated with water such as Marià Llimona's bronze mermaids on the main staircase. In the concourses and "miradors" there are classically inspired busts on ivy-covered pedestals.

The dramatic effect is further enhanced by the play of colours: the blue of the sky, the permanent green of the vegetation and the white of the ground, the sculptures and the white poplars.

Set in a natural amphitheatre, the Santa Clotilde Gardens offer open views over the surrounding landscape. The use of some of the same species that grow in the surrounding landscape means that it is sometimes difficult to tell where the garden end and the natural landscape begins.
