The Fundaci\u00f3n Tres Culturas is hosting the exhibition 'Para\u00edsos del Antiguo Sur, im\u00e1genes hist\u00f3ricas de jardines de Andaluc\u00eda y el Magreb' (Paradises of the Ancient South, historical images of gardens in Andalusia and the Maghreb), promoted by the Fundaci\u00f3n P\u00fablica El legado andalus\u00ed.<\/p>\n
The exhibition consists of a careful selection of photographs and models selected by the University of Granada specialists Jos\u00e9 Tito and Manuel Casares, which reflect the history and evolution of many of the oldest gardens in Andalusia and the Maghreb: the identity preserved in the gardens of the southern territories, in cities such as Granada, M\u00e1laga, Almer\u00eda, C\u00f3rdoba, Seville, T\u00e1nger, Xauen, Fez, Tetu\u00e1n, Marraquech and Algiers.<\/p>\n
The exhibition covers historical images which, for the most part, show the same garden at different points in time, which allows us to see how they have evolved. This is the case with some retrospectives of the Albaic\u00edn c\u00e1rmenes, which went from being fruit orchards to become garden spaces, as well as other emblematic spaces such as the Patio de los Arrayanes, the Machuca, the Partal, the garden of the Concepci\u00f3n in M\u00e1laga, and many more.<\/p>\n
There are also evolutionary models, such as one that presents three different periods of the Generalife: 1526-1567, 1856-1875, 1934; or a model of the Alcazar Genil that reconstructs its hypothetical state around 1431, and its later state around 1934, when the Camino de Ronda was built. There are also some original pieces from the municipal historical archive of Granada.<\/p>\n
