Ciutadella Park is one of Barcelona's most iconic green spaces, located in the heart of the city. Originally built in the 19th century on the site of a former military citadel, the park spans over 70 acres and offers a peaceful retreat from urban life. It features wide walkways, manicured gardens, and a large lake where visitors can rent rowboats. The park is home to several notable attractions, including the Cascada Monumental, a grand fountain designed with contributions from a young Antoni Gaudí, and the Barcelona Zoo, which houses a diverse collection of animals. The park also includes the Catalan Parliament building and the Castell dels Tres Dragons, a modernist structure. With its combination of natural beauty, historical significance, and recreational opportunities, Ciutadella Park is a favorite destination for both locals and visitors.
