Gardens of the Pont del Diable (Devil's Bridge) Eco-Historical Park<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The Pont del Diable Eco-Historic Park</strong>, located on the outskirts of Tarragona, combines nature, history and architectural heritage. The emblematic 'Pont del Diable' (Devil’s Bridge), a Roman aqueduct from the 1st century AD that carried water from the Francolí to Tarraco, stands out, as well as medieval farmhouses, lime kilns and quarries that show human activity over the centuries. This complex is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site within the archaeological complex of Tarraco.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the brothers Rafael and Marià Puig i Valls converted the estate into a romantic English garden with itineraries, viewpoints and educational signs about the Mediterranean flora, which combines holm oaks, white pines and orchids with ornamental species. Between 2001 and 2003, the Pont del Diable Workshop School recovered the garden and the guard house, and the City Council has continued the restoration and renaturalization, improving paths, signage and public spaces. Today the park is accessible and safe for walks, educational, cultural and recreational activities, preserving the spirit of respect and appreciation for nature of its founders.</p>https://rutes-content.tarragona.cat/en/jardi-eco-historic-del-pont-del-diablehttps://rutes-content.tarragona.cat/@@site-logo/logo_aj_tgna.png
