The Islamic Garden in Europe as a prelude

Bruno Milić

Sažetak

Afterthe fall of the Roman Empire and the devastation of the complete classical cultural heritage, all classical Roman gardens were destroyed and disappeared. In the eighth and ninth centuries the Arabs invaded the Pyrenes and the south of Italy, developing a luxurious culture of gardens in those parts of medieval Europe, the first after Roman times. It was a synthesis of classical order and clarity with lush oriental extravagance. Important examples remain from that age that still live in full continuity. Although they belong to another cultural circle, the author considers that the presentation of the European garden should begin with the Islamic garden because it is a kind of prelude -a overture to everything that happened in the Renaissanee.
