The Monforte Sancho Gardens were laid out in the 19th century in neoclassical style, commissioned by Juan Bautista Romero, Marquis of San Juan. It has an abundance of marble statues, ponds and fountains, architectural details and a rest pavilion.

Initially known as the Hort de Romero (Romero's Orchard), its owner Juan Bautista Romero, Marquis of San Juan, commissioned the architect Sebastián Monleón y Estellés to design it according to his instructions in 1859. The garden was given the name of Monforte because it passed to the family of this surname on the death of the Marquis in 1872. The gardens were restored in the 1940s by Javier Winthuysen Losada and the work was carried out by the municipal gardener Ramón Peris.

The garden is accessed through the hallway of the pavilion, the ground floor of which leads directly to a semicircular square enclosed by an iron railing adorned with busts of philosophers on pedestals. This small square leads to an artistic, free-standing neoclassical façade flanked by two marble lions, the work of José Bellver for the steps of the Congress of Deputies in Madrid, where they were never placed.

This garden has another access through the porticoed gallery of the pavilion or small palace, which leads to a rectangular park, on a slope, surrounded by walls decorated with Alcora "alfàbegues". The most eye-catching features of this enclosure are the water features of the pool and the two graceful ponds in the corners, with sculptural groups of little lovebirds in the respective fountains, on pedestals with pendentives.

In keeping with the stately character of the garden, the recreation pavilion is preserved, a sort of small palace built on the initiative of the Marquis of San Juan himself, and whose gateway is the obligatory, and only, passage to the garden. To the left of the entrance hall, a staircase whose walls are decorated with nine female figures painted in tempera and as many medallions with lovebirds, leads to the main floor, with several rooms around a central one, porticoed in Neo-Palladian style, covered with an octagonal vault on pendentives, on the segments of which various allegories are painted. From the balconies on this floor or from the balustraded terrace there are interesting panoramic views of this sumptuous garden.
