Santa Clotilde Gardens, Lloret de Mar, Catalonia, Spain

Mermaid sculpture by Maria Llimona i Benet, 1894-1985, in the Santa Clotilde Gardens, at Lloret de Mar, on the Costa Brava, in Catalonia, Spain. The garden was commissioned by the Marquis of Roviralta in 1919 and created by Nicolau Maria Rubio i Tuduri. It overlooks the Mediterranean Sea, Boadella cove and Fenals beach. The garden is planted in catalan noucentisme style, seeking classical symmetry and order in its planting, using pine trees, ivy, lindens, poplars, Japanese mock-orange and cypresses, interspersed with fountains and sculptures.
