Rural Heritage

This park has its roots in an old 18th-century agricultural estate, which served as a production center for approximately two hundred years. The property included a manor house, an olive mill, a well with a waterwheel, and a large irrigation tank, elements that bear witness to its original rural vocation. Over time, the lands, once occupied by vineyards, olive groves, and sown fields, were gradually transformed, but their historical memory remains visible in their oldest elements.
