What people say

Victoria White
"Take time to uncover this highly decorated and iconic fountain in the Northern corner of Ciutadella Park. Fascinatingly it even has links to Gaudí, who was involved in designing the hydraulics for this noteworthy feature. It is thought to be loosely modelled on Rome’s Trevi Fountain and is a combination of work from 10 different Catalonian artists. The stone carved dragons, mythical creatures, galloping horses and the gold sculpture of the Roman goddess Aurora make it a photo-worthy spot to visit! "

"Barcelona's most famous park is on the site of the former citadel, close to the sea and next to the Born neighborhood. It occupies 17 hectares, with formal gardens, a grand waterfall, a boating lake, historic architecture, and a zoological park. At the center of the park sits the citadel's former arsenal building, now home to the Parliament of Catalonia. In front of the parliament building is Plaça de Joan Fiveller, featuring a pond in the center of oval rings of well-manicured greenery."
"Ciutadella Park is a lush oasis in the heart of Barcelona, offering a serene escape from the urban bustle. This expansive green space features scenic paths, a tranquil lake with rowboats, and a majestic fountain designed by Josep Fontserè. The park is home to the Barcelona Zoo and the Catalan Parliament building. With its mix of nature, architecture, and recreational opportunities, Ciutadella Park is a cherished spot where both locals and visitors can unwind and enjoy the outdoors."
