These large 18th-century gardens were once visited by Emperor Maximilian.

But . . . we could not find a guide so did not get as much out of our visit as we might have. Borda was a wealthy silver miner who came out to Mexico from Spain in the 1500s I believe. Amongst other things he built the cathedral in Taxco and these gardens. I believe the site of the gardens and house were also lived in by the Emperor for a couple of years.
