Barcelona, besides art, traffic, people… counts with delicious public gardens.

Most of them originally were country estates, which are located in the Northeast part of the city. They are full of sculptures, fountains and other details that are authentic hidden treasures. They are unique landscape creations where nature, art, history have been put together by architects and urban designers such as Forestier or Rubió, significant characters in the modern history of gardening.

This route invites us to enjoy these pieces of art, once private country estates that now are a part of our public patrimony.

Here are some of the highlights of the itinerary: "Jardins de la Tamarita"; "Jardins de la Villa Cecilia" and "de la Quinta Amelia"; "Porta del Drac" in the pabellons Güell; "Torre Girona" and "Jardins del Palau de Pedralbes".
