The study of the historic garden of the Casa-Museo Benlliure in Valencia raises important questions about its conservation in the current context of climate crisis. This garden, dating back to the late 19th century and belonging to a family of artists, has undergone various transformations over the years. The research highlights the importance of adopting a comprehensive approach that considers the garden’s cultural, architectural, and natural aspects, as well as changes in its use from a private to a public space. The Florence Charter, a key document for the protection of historic gardens since 1981, emphasizes the need to preserve both the material and immaterial elements of these spaces. However, in recent decades, there has been debate about the urgency of updating its principles to address contemporary challenges such as climate change and social transformation.
The research emphasizes the need for sustainable strategies that respond to the environmental crisis and preserve the garden’s dynamic authenticity, where natural elements evolve. It also proposes restoring the garden’s original features, such as the traditional irrigation system and the variety of species, to improve its capacity to function as an urban climate refuge. In this way, historic gardens, in addition to being testimonies of the past, can play a crucial role in urban green infrastructure, helping to mitigate the effects of global warming and offering spaces of well-being for the community.
