Directions

A contemporary park designed by Enric Miralles and Benedetta Tagliabue, featuring bold sculptural metalwork, interconnected lakes, and lush planting that has matured beautifully since its 2002 opening. It's one of Barcelona's most architecturally ambitious public spaces and remains underappreciated by visitors who stay closer to the old city. The park is large enough to find quiet corners even on busy days, and the proximity to the beach makes it easy to combine both. The sculptural pipe structures are divisive but genuinely iconic.
