El Turó Park

Parks

turo parkThe El Turó Park has been created at the beginning of the 20th Century and was first used as a fairground but later changed into one of Barcelona’s green spaces. For a long time the park remained one of the few green spots and neighbourhood gardens of the city and is therefore even today considered more than just a green space.


The Gardens offer a great variety of different plants that are accompanied by many sculptures of various designers. Also the botanical gardens are worth paying a visit as they offer a broad variety of different species.

The Plaça del Teatret is another part of the park that offers sitting spaces and a kiosk so that visitors can take some time out and rest.

Gaudí's dead

Not much people know how Gaudí died. From what it known he was hit by a tram in front of Sagrada Familia when he crossed the street aiming to go to the construction side of his masterpiece.

He lay in the hospital "Hospital de la Santa Creu", but people didn't recognise the famous artist because of his neglected appereance.

Only three days later, a friend of him found him in this hospital and asked for a private room for him. The same day, 10 July 1926 he died. 

He was buried in the midst of La Sagrada Família.
