With the passing of time, more gardens have been added to the Alfabia garden complex. The architecture of its main facade is atypical and highly characteristic and is influenced by the structure of the gardens. We could dwell on the beauty and transparency of the aljibe (cistern), with its rounded arch built during the baroque reform. But perhaps the garden's most emblematic offering is the pergola with its water fountains. The origin of these fountains goes back to the villas of the Italian Renaissance whose art spread across Europe during the 16th century. Visitors are always thrilled by these surprising water fountains.

The lower garden has an exotic air, due to its tropical nature and a small pond with water lilies. Here we can find a wide array of palm trees from which the garballons stand out, an endangered species that is indigenous to the island.
