In the spring of 1903 when Gaudí had already begun work on the Park Güell, Joan Artigas, a textile manufacturer, ask the architect to make the design for his gardens in a parcel that he had covering a part of the upper Llobregat River. The passage of time and neglect of the men left this Gaudí’s fingerprint forgotten and it was not until 1971 when a correspondent for the newspaper “El Correo Catalan” discovered the existence of the gardens designed by Gaudi, after talking with someone that worked on the project. Gaudí designed the garden (very similar to the Park Guell, but on a smaller scale) but not personally directed the work. The works took place between 1905 and 1906. These Gardens are located at La Pobla de Lillet, they are owned by the municipality and are open to the public.
How to get there:

* The significant slopes (stairs and paths) of the gardens may prevent or seriously hinder the visit of disabled persons and prevent the movement of wheelchairs.
