This palace complex owes its origin to a fire that happened on Christmas Day 1875 and destroyed the building, which was used as the residence of kings. Then Eusebi Gü ell, in gratitude for conferring the title of count on him, presented the king with one of his mansions. Address: Avinguda Diagonal, 686. Entrance to the park is free.
While walking in the park, pay attention to:
- Arbor designed by Antoni Gaudí . But do not look for a stone or wooden structure - the Catalan architect saw a resting place in the garden a little differently;
- Fountain of Hercules, the authorship of the same Gaudi. The fountain was installed in 1884. For many years this source remained hidden by vegetation and its existence was discovered a hundred years later, when the palace garden began to be put in order;
- Royal Palace.
It houses the Museum of Decorative and Applied Arts, and the building is also used as the headquarters of the Mediterranean Union.
