Parc De la Ciutadella:

This huge park measuring about 30 hectares is the ‘never to miss’ place of Barcelona. It was actually a military area during the period of Felipe V. He actually wanted to construct a fortress in this area and he even demolished the nearby town for the purpose. However it was General Prim who demolished the fortress but retained the Presidential palace, chapel and the military stores. Later the government of Spain converted the place into a park. The park is famous for its rich vegetation, tall trees, beautiful flowers and other rare species of flora and fauna.

The uniqueness of this park is its aromatic grass on which one can relax, chat with near and dear ones, enjoy the guitar played for one’s enjoyment by artists, etc. You can go for a long walk. There is a zoo inside this park which every visitor should never miss. One can see the wild animals in their natural habitat. The sea is not far away from this park.

The park also has a zoological museum which interests every section of visitors. There is a huge lake which has facilities for boating. There are beautiful waterfalls and fountains. The entire park is luxuriously illuminated and it is a stunningly beautiful sight at night. There are also many interesting works of sculpture including metallic cat and General Prim’s statue which is surrounded by beautiful flowers. In short, the park is a world in itself.
