Fountain and benches in the gardens at Casa del Rey Moro in Ronda, Spain. The gardens were designed by French landscape gardener, Jean Claude Forestier in 1912. Casa del Rey Moro was built in the 18th Century and features a Water Mine, a "secret" passage that enabled workers to bring water up to the house from the Guadelevin River below. The passage goes through many chambers, including the "Room of Secrets."
