The labyrinth maze at the garden of the cross

This new labyrinth was designed in 1914, after the disappearance of the oldest Maze Garden which was located in the current Garden of the Cross. This labyrinth garden maze is located inside the famous Alcazar Palace in Sevilla Seville, Spain Made with myrtles, cypress and arborvitaes, it’s inspired by the renaissance models. These fences design different corridors, creating the labyrinthine path. A knot garden is a garden of very formal design in a square frame, consisting of a variety of aromatic plants and culinary herbs. Most knot gardens now have edges made from box Buxus sempervirens, whose leaves have a sweet smell when bruised. The paths in between are usually laid with fine gravel. However, the original designs of knot gardens did not have the low box hedges, and knot gardens with such hedges might more accurately be called parterres. Most Renaissance knot gardens were composed of square compartments. A small garden might consist of one compartment, while large gardens might contain six or eight compartments.
