The park is located in the Ciutat Vella district in a triangle between the Barcelona-França train station, the Arc de Triomphe and the Poblenou district between Pujades, Picasso and Wellington streets. It has ten entrances and an area of 17.42 hectares, not including the Barcelona Zoo. It is a beautifully landscaped area that you should definitely visit.

The park invites you to relax and enjoy life. A large park near Barceloneta.
Antoni Gaudí had a small, hidden task during construction. However, his lizards are visible next to the "Aquarium" entrance.

It is "the park" par excellence in Barcelona. A whole classic. I went on an excursion with the school when I was little, and now I go with my teenage children. There is everything. Public toilets, water fountains scattered throughout the park, beach bars with terraces for a drink, and even ping pong tables that fill up every summer afternoon with the most varied people who bring their rackets from home and organize their parties and competitions... In spring and summer it is quite crowded, especially on weekends. It is also a meeting place, as we can find both locals and foreigners, who, as far as I know, love the park. The Barcelona Zoo is just a few meters away, actually attached to the park. To get there, it is best to go by bicycle or by tram, which leaves you almost inside the park. In general, it is a clean and well-kept park, ideal for all types of "users". It is also "a classic" to go with food and a sarong and have a picnic lying in the shade of the number of trees scattered on the park's lawn. A good place to spend the day with children or a dog... or both if you're in the mood...

The Cascada del Parque de la Ciudadela was built between 1875 and 1888, making it a historic landmark in Barcelona.

The monument was designed by José Fontseré, with a project for the water features by Antoni Gaudí, and features sculptures by renowned artists such as Rossend Nobas and Venancio Vallmitjana.

The Cascada was the centerpiece of the 1888 Universal Exposition in Barcelona, attracting over 2 million visitors.

The aquarium that was once located behind the Cascada was the first permanent exhibition of live fish in Barcelona, and was later moved to the city's zoo.

An extremely colorful place. Therefore, it is definitely worth visiting

In addition to the fountain itself, it is also worth visiting the spontaneous dance evenings that the locals organize here ❤️‍🔥
