Parc de la Ciutadella is a whopping 44-acre park in central Barcelona built by architect Josep Fontsere in 1888 for the Universal Exhibition, a world fair. This urban oasis still exhibits relics from that period, including buildings like the Castell dels Tres Dragons. Visitors will be enthralled by the lake and waterfall that was designed by Fontsere as well as the magnificent plant house. They will also find a glass home, the Catalan Parliament, and a larger than life mammoth statue as well as a bandstand on the grounds. In addition, guests can see a replica of the stunning El Desconsol (distress) sculpture designed by Josep Llimona.
