Parc de la Ciutadella-Parc de la Ciutadella, built by Josep Fontserè for the Universal Exposition of 1888, on the grounds of the old fortress.

The Parc de la Ciutadella-Parc de la Ciutadella is one of the largest and most traditional parks in the city. It is built on the grounds of the old fortress of the city, which is the reason for its name. It was the site chosen for the celebration of the Universal Exposition of 1888. The construction of the park was commissioned to Josep Fontserè, who had the collaboration of the young artist Antonio Gaudí, who was 36 years old at the time. It has the honor of having been for many years the only public park in Barcelona. Today it is one of the so-called lungs of the city.

It is approximately 17 hectares in size and is located in the Ciutat Vella district.

Within the park is located the old Arsenal of the Citadel, current seat of the Parliament of Catalonia and the Castle of the Three Dragons, current Zoology Museum.

The monumental waterfall and the artificial lake are part of its charms, you can take a boat ride on the lake.

Another interesting visit in the park is the Orangery, a typical example of iron and glass architecture from the time of the Eiffel Tower, inside which there is a cafeteria.
