- Andalusia was a part of the Islamic World for nearly eight hundred years. Gardens here are a reminder of this period through until today. How did this epoch shape garden art in southern Spain and what roles did handicrafts and architecture have in all of this? We set out on a voyage of discovery to the roots of European garden art, which are over a thousand years old and Islamic.

North Europe is foggy, tampered light filtered through humidity in the air, long dark winters, and there you have it, you need softer colors that brighten the place and add the warmth that is lacking, you got to make your home cozy. But in the South of Spain you have the bright light of the sun multiplied and reflected by the Mediterranean Sea, dry air, white homes and light yellow dry earth... its hot and bright and you need to cool your buildings down and match the sun brightness with competing color.
The gardener of Alhambra is such a lovely person.
he is a very thorough lover too!!
@@marvin19966 how do you guys know tell us more
A lovely rendition of Persian gardens. My dream home will definitely have a Persian garden
Andalusí garden have authentic style
Spanish gardens in this video. I am sure Persian gardens are lovely too.
Borrowed from the Persians, yes with improvements, and a Arabic twist, some tissues for you to help wipe your salty tears.
@@moosa9850
ok moosa.
Have fun with your delusional, cheap, imperialistic politics.
You are entitled to cope with your own fantasy, I guess.
Be happy, bye now ;-)
I love the spirit of the gardener at the end of the video. Thank you from this lovely, inspiring video
Hello, I am a 16 year old girl from Malaga, Andalusia who has always been attracted by oriental cultures, I grew up listening to Indian and Arabic music and I still do. My mother, my grandfather, my great-grandmother were all poets and singers. We have Arab features, big eyes, bushy eyebrows, we are dark, dark and curly hair... I firmly believe that we had Muslim artists, who knows, they would live in those palaces surrounded by trees and flowers. The Arabs learned from the architecture of Persia and India. The cultures that interest me the most, there is something mystical and of an inexplicable beauty that attracts me a lot. Thank you for all the legacy. We must protect it and know our history. ♥️
The Andalucía culture IS not india andqq persia. Is al Andalus culture, IS not Arabian, IS andalusí.
@@jaimegarcia9408 okey
Not Arabic, both you and the BBC have it wrong.
The BBC usually does not take nuance into account.
If it looks oriental to them, everything is Arabic.
If it is from Spain, it is all flamenco and bulls.
If it sounds Spanish, all is Mexican, etc, etc...
Beautiful documentary anyway, please leave modern politics out of this. You are from Malaga, you surely know better.
Spain and Andalucía have their own very ancient and unique cultures.
Please do not make them Arabic, Persian, or Martian.
All said it is nothing personal, just cultural.
You sound passionate and honest in your commentary.
Be happy and have a nice day. 🙂
@@CondeAlberto I understand, thank you for the observation. All ancient and beautiful cultures 💗
Andalusia was a hub for both Muslim and Christian people in the past. Such a beautiful location.
I wish the Spanish speakers would have been allowed to be heard and a translation script would have been supplied as it was a poor translation and I was interested in what they had to say. I love the gardens and the beautiful Arab heritage 💚🌸
The andalusí culture is unique. The gastronomy andalusí, the arquitecthure, music , philosofy etc
I love how the gardens reflect the art & style of living in that area and the way they use functional & beautiful. As a designer myself this is a fundamental rule for me.
Loved this program.
TY
Each one of those gardens deserves its own video. Good job!
The Spanish gardens are my absolute favorites.
Gorgeous. Islamic design principles are one of my major inspirations for design and aesthetics for home living.
As a younger generation, I could only think if all of garden in the world is changed to food supply garden. Full of plants that we consumed on day to day to basis. From carb plants to veggies, herbs, edible freshwater fishes, mini chicken farm. To avoid future food shortage 😊
I have been LOVING this series! I hope you feature Portugal as well.
Loving every instalment of this series !
Such lovely places with beautiful and passionate people!
Thanks for making this series. Loved each part of it. And the last statements of this video was heartwarming.
Love spain from Iran ❤☘ beautiful places!
Wonderful! We visited here last year and spent a full day in the gardens- not nearly enough time, but it was truly magical.
It’s an art! I’ve been in one garden-labyrinth, not far from Barcelona (or within in it), it looked so great too!
bravo
I love gardens and I’m enjoying this channel a lot!
One of things I find fascinating about this episode is the Spanish’s attitude to the oranges. I am of Jamaican heritage and this story triggered a memory of my time spent in Jamaica as kid. We had a very similar attitude towards some oranges that pretty much grew wild or near the roadsides - I just googled their origin and they’re called Seville oranges, come from Spain. 🇪🇸🇯🇲
Fantastic program.
Lots of resemblances to Persian gardens but well restored.
Need to mention the word Paradise comes from the Persian ''Pardis''.
Tanks for great documentary.
,,, California
This is about Andalusia not Persia
The Córdoba patios and inner courtyards are magic and beautiful. Visit my city in depth discovering the hidden and real soul of this millenarium city, as well as Granada carmenes gardens. Regards!
Let's invite everybody enjoy gardening because this gorgeous, only vegetals neutralize pollution and refresh air, they are our salvation friends 🎉❤🎉
the overdubs are super distracting. subtitles are always a good option ;)

This series should be renamed how the world fell in love with Islamic Gardens
Yes
Not Islamic, the original design is Persian Paradise Garden design which was readily recorded in that empire 1500 years before Islam.
They aren't Islamic. They are Persian.
@@WordsPhotos They were being inspired by the Islamic gardens not the original Persian gardens … and Islam for Muslims started with Adam (AS)
It’s like saying people like speaking English … and someone interjects that’ they’re actually enjoying speaking a offshoot of German
@@honesty_provides_tranquility As long as one does not read the entire collection of references I offered above they can not understand what the concept of a Pairi Daeza or Paradise Garden means. There is absolutely no registered design in the entire universe as Ialamic garden. When we say Persian Garden we are not referring to a nationality, we are talking about a very specific and unique design that I give anyone interested to go and find out for themselves. The expanse of Persian Garden design covers the old gardens of Aghanistan, India, Iran, Turkey, Spain and other areas throughout the history. Meanhwhile, you can see on her next episode that even the countries that are center of Islam have absolutely no such thing as Islamic Garden design. Their entire gardens fall under modern garden design. 3000 years of Pairi Daeza. The Paradise Garden, the Persian Garden design. Cheers!
So far, for me this is the most favorite video of CZcams, everything is perfect, the images, the music, the narration and all the art we can see in this amazing gardens.
Thank You for sharing it.
Beautiful documentary, sad to see all the fountains being painted because climate change and drought will affect this region as the heat increases. Well built ancient homes and title help with the heat, we can learn a lot from our ancestors.
I wish you guys could check out Islamic Iranian gardens in Iran such as "Kashan fin garden". it's mix of art, science, engineering, design, spirituality and ...there are lots of philosophy behind it
I didn't want to like or give this Beauty a fair chance. After seeing this I can no longer do that. It is all to wonderful !
Alguien se inventó lo de los 800 años y muchos se lo han creido.
Los musulmanes conquistaron buena parte de la península en el 711
Córdoba volvió a ser cristiana en 1236
Jaén en 1246, Sevilla en 1248, Murcia en 1266...
Podéis calcular si fueron realmente 800 años.
Yo no sólo he visto eso repetido hasta la saciedad sobre todo en videos Estadounidenses sino que la mayoría o muchos negros de allí tienen la paranoia de que los moros en España eran todos negros y que vinieron por millones es algo increíble y de una cosa digna de estudio dentro de los bulos en CZcams bay infinidad de estos vídeos 🤣
Hhhjjk
And Roman influence is actually equal if not deeper... We still live under Washington Irving romantic vision.
800 years stretched out from less than 500 years at the most
1492-711 =781
23:41 name of the song pls. Beutiful ❤
Muslim past but not only. Roman, phoenician, cartago and bizantine as well.
This Is Absolutely Beautiful ❤
Its how people react just because of word Islam.
They are actually copies of the Persian gardens.
Andalusí garden IS original garden.
mmmm, no.
I wouldn't say better, just different
Andalusia was a special place in time during the middle ages. Cultures were allowed to live together and blend even in the same city. Probably why they were succesful in holding on to Spain for that long. God how the rest of the muslim world have degenerates since that time.
When are you going to make a docudrama about Prince Charles’ Islamic Garden😂 Sean Connery’s Sunni Garden, Lady Godiva’s Islamic Garden, Windsor Castle Islamic Water Slide?
Gosh ouch the sound on this.
The Alhambra gardens didn't have cipreses during muslim times. Those gardens have been much improved by the Christians...
True and the original design was Persian and NOT Islamic as these British subjects keep propagating :). Persians had the same design 1500 years+ before Islam.
they should have left that king collect the myrtle
Spain had gardens long before islam. ROME AND GREECE WERE AMAZING WITH GARDENS. JESUS!
Its clearly the documentary is talking about this particular Islamic influenced type of garden
I'm sure that Jesus wouldn't have minded that people would talk about gardens.
Islam has just taken much from others', Theology, Architecture, Music and Art...
Not advanced or well planned gardens.
It’s Persian art of water management and landscaping, brought to Iberia by Arab super-lords.
Agree. Persia has been advanced for thousands of years and Arabia just became advanced in the last 30
Andalusí garden the styles authentic
@@jaimegarcia9408 of course these are Moorish creations, my point was about the concept of Islamic gardens originating in Persia before spreading throughout Islamic Caliphate.
mmm, no. Keep nationalistic, modern, cheap politics out of this.
Best Garden makers…

Brought to you by the Islamic world.
And improved by spaniards😍
@@imb5128Preserved*
Islamic world brought Persian gardens to Spain
@@shandizuribe Persia is one of the most holy and important part of history of Islam from beginning.
Extraordinary Islamic gardens and common nuisance ads.
before islamic influences were the Persian pre Islamic originals by nearly 2 thousand years
can't watch more than 3min of videos about alhambra oe al andalus in genera, such heavy pain and sorrow to be taking pride in beautiful creations of humans whom this world massacred with cold blood, esp that other genocides are taking place again.
In the next 50 years half of Andalucia will be a desert...
Is the statement ‘roots of European garden art …I s Islamic’ is a result of ignorance or something else?
not a good translation from spanish at all
This was an Arab empire first and foremost, do not erase Arab contribution to culture and science by simply reducing it to Islamic
59. Say, “Praise be to Allah, and peace be upon His worshipers whom He has chosen. Is Allah better, or what they associate?”
60. Or, who created the heavens and the earth, and sends water down from the sky for you? With it, We produce gardens full of beauty, whose trees you could not have produced. Is there a god alongside Allah? But they are a people who equate.
61. Or, who made the earth a habitat, and caused rivers to flow through it, and set mountains on it, and placed a partition between the two seas? Is there a god alongside Allah? But most of them do not know.
Quran 27
Moorish. Not European.
History of European gardening is , at least 3000 years old and it’s roots are not islamic ( look Greece).
are you from here?
@@kobaltocr6927does he need to be to know the history of Iberia?
@@kingkoi6542 he says that he speaks about the oldest gardens in Europe 😁- not in iberia.
The roots were originally taken from the Egyptians and Persians.
@@neonationalist1772 not even them. Gardens were made as soon as people settled permanently, to places. In Europe, that happened as neolithic settlers were spreading as they were moving from the levant and asia minor to the Greek island and then gradually to the rest of Europe.
Those gardens are not spanish, they are middle eastern designs 100%, trying to say that they are spanish is like saying that the capital of the catholic church is Argentina.
Middle Eastern isn't much of a description... Do you mean Persian? Greek? Arab? Hebrew? Besides if you mean with the Islamists, they practically took from their neighbors... Like Art, Music, Architecture and Theology...
Persian
@@kingkoi6542every nation took from their neighbors. Your statement doesn't make sense.
@@neonationalist1772 Not like Islam does. They literally take over religious temples and churches and turn them into Mosques....
cope hard.
The only benefit Islam left behind...
Math
Garden of Eden is older. Christian/Jewish.
Saying that Middle Eastern garden designs are islamic is just plain wrong. The middle east has culture and traditions that predates islam by thousands of years, and gardening is nature worship.
THESE ARE NOT SPANISH GARDENS, THEY ARE ARABIC GARDENS (in Spain). Understand?
AND THAT MUSIC IS NOT SPANISH, IS LATIN.
WTF.
can you please stop talking about MOORS, there are no such people, no people in Hstory existed that are moors, no moor language no moor food no mooris music r architecture or traditions. please use the right names of peoples. andalus was populated by berbers and arabs and indiginous peoples and of course the vandals ence the name: v andalus=al andalus.
Moors are the people living in the lands of the Mauri, a kingdom that existed in Roman times, later the province of Mauritania, and the Maghreb in modern times.
So, a totally correct term to name the people originating in the countries from Morocco, Algeria andTunisia.
It is a perfectly good and historically and culturally correct term.
