Moragas GardensThis park is a neighbourhood garden and a social meeting place for locals of all ages of the area. Having been made accessible to the public in 1959 ever since then this green space has impressed through its dense and beautiful vegetation that consists of colourful flowerbeds, expensive lawns and tall and old trees. The plants can grow so thick that you can only see what is directly in front of you and this makes the area appear a lot bigger and wider than it actually is.
You can also relax and rest on the many benches provided in the park and the gardens also host a great children’s playground so that the entire family can enjoy this green space.

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.
