In 2001, deeply shocked by the attitude of the Taliban Government, intentionally destroying unique monuments of World Heritage, Mr. Jose Berardo decided to build an extensive oriental garden. In a certain way, it pays tribute to the colossal Buddhas carved in the rock of the Bamyan valley in central Afghanistan, which have been cultural and spiritual references, for centuries.

Without any religious tendency, it opens doors to all people regardless of religion, ethnicity, nationality, sex, age, cultural or social condition, inviting communication and meditation as a way to rediscover happiness.
