Introduction
The Jardín Borda in Cuernavaca — the 'city of eternal spring' — was built by 18th-century silver magnate José de la Borda as a colonial estate with terraced gardens, fountains and a pavilion. Later used by Emperor Maximilian as a summer retreat, it keeps a small theatre and waterworks from his time — among Cuernavaca's most elegant historic gardens.
