ALHAMBRA
The Alhambra – Eternal symbol of encounter between cultures
In the Alhambra of Granada, the Garden of Peace is set within one of the most admired and visited monuments in the world, where history and beauty have been in dialogue for centuries. This place, a symbol of Andalusian splendour, also bears witness to the coexistence of cultures, religions and traditions that have left their mark and their cultural legacy.
The Garden of Peace at the Alhambra embodies the continuity of that spirit: a space where the memory of the past merges with the aspiration for a shared future. Just as the walls, palaces and gardens of the Alhambra recount stories of encounters between different peoples, the olive trees planted in this garden —21 varieties originating from 21 countries— symbolise the strength of unity in diversity.
Each tree, rooted in a different land, shares the same soil, the same light and the same sky of Granada. Together they remind us that peace is not a distant utopia, but a daily construction built upon respect, dialogue and coexistence.

The representatives of the countries taking part in the Forum on the Future of the Mediterranean were the protagonists of the inauguration of the Garden of Peace. This major international gathering brought together delegations from 43 nations to address crucial challenges such as migration, youth employment, gender equality, and climate change. The symbolic planting, carried out by various institutional leaders, gave life to a new Garden of Peace, conceived as a space for dialogue, coexistence, and cooperation among cultures.
