One of Barcelona's largest and most popular parks, Parc de la Ciutadella is the ideal place to escape the hectic pace of the city and take a peaceful break in nature. This park is one of the city's most important breathing points with its large green areas, ponds and cultural sites.

Parc de la Ciutadella was built in the late 19th century on a former military site of the city. The park's design is characterized by large lawns, walking paths and tree-lined rest areas. A large pond in the park offers paddling and relaxation opportunities.

The park is also home to the Barcelona Zoo and offers the opportunity to observe various animal species. Culturally rich, Parc de la Ciutadella is home to the Parliament of Catalonia building, the Umbracle, one of Barcelona's most striking modernist buildings, and a bandstand used for music concerts.

One of the most striking features of the park is the spectacular water fountain, designed by Josep Fontserè and contributed to by Gaudí. This fountain, with its intricate sculptures and decorations, is one of the most iconic structures in the park.
