Dating back to the Moorish period, the Alfamia Gardens were first designed by the Moorish governor in the 10th century AD and are known for their elaborate irrigation systems and elaborate horticultural layouts.

The Balearic Islands, then ruled by Muslims, were conquered by Christian Aragon, the precursor to modern Spain. The garden blends Muslim and Christian influences. Alfabia is derived from the Arabic phrase "ai fabi", meaning "jar of olives".

Historians believe the complex was designed by the Muslim governor of the area at the time, who converted to Christianity after the invasion. The garden house was transformed in the 18th century and became an example of Baroque architecture.

With the reconquest of Majorca by the Christians, the gardens were gradually mixed with Gothic and Renaissance styles, and in the 18th century Baroque decoration was added to form the distinctive look of today.
