The Hortus Conclusus rose garden has given way to OlivArt.This olive grove is made up of 22 olive trees, most of which are centuries old, among which the following varieties stand out: Lechín de Sevilla, Picual, Grosal, Hojiblanca.
Thus, the flowers give way to fruits and oil. The trunks sculpted by centuries offer us a park of natural sculptures of great beauty. Climate change and the lack of water have forced us to make this decision. This is how we strengthened the symbolism of peace in msbb, already present with the Dove. Picasso drew his dove of peace with the olive branch in its beak.
The olive tree is one of the oldest symbols in the world, unchanged over time and of timeless value. The symbolism of the olive tree is peace, fertility, wisdom, immortality, prosperity and success.
It is one of the most famous and recognized symbols of Greece and around the world. In general, Greeks and Mediterraneans have developed very close ties with the olive tree, not only nutritionally but also in a wide spectrum of symbolic content, from ancient times to the present day.
