SANT FELIP NERI SQUARE

Possibly the most beautiful square in Barcelona, yet also the most tragic. It was to the baroque church in this tiny square that Gaudi was travelling when he was run over by a tram in the Gran Via and subsequently died. It was also here that a Fascist bomb blast killed many people including 20 children sheltering in the church during the Civil War. There is a plaque to commemorate them, and you can still see evidence of the violent past in the pockmarked stone of the church.


Perhaps it is fitting that there is a school here now, and that children play peacefully around the fountain. The trees, fountain and absence of cars give the place an almost rural feel.

HORTA LABYRINTH PARK

This park is home to the oldest garden in the city and is an example of the neoclassical gardens of the 18th century, with a touch of Italian physiognomy. Its name comes from the labyrinth of cypress bushes that is located at the lower part of the park.

It is possibly the most beautiful park in Barcelona. The gardens, the structure and the architecture make it the perfect place to lose oneself. Next to the famous labyrinth, the park has other small delights: views, places for reflection or for rest. Here we can find the Boxwood gardens, with their topiary art (figures); the Domèstic, which has a planting of camellias; the Molses (mosses); the Petit Laberint (small labyrinth); and the Romàntic, which, interestingly enough, closes its area with a false cemetery. Also worth noting is the romantic channel, at the end of which is the "Illa de l'Amor" (Island of Love).

The Parc del Laberint is laid out on three levels, or stepped terraces. On the top level is a reservoir that collects the water used to water the gardens. On the middle level are the temples with cupolas supported by Tuscan columns. And on the lower level is the labyrinth, the focal point of the park.
