Parks

Palau Robert and its surroundings originally used to be the family residence of Robert Robert í Surís, the son of Torroella de Montrgí, who was a very influential financier in Barcelona and who was later given the status of Spanish nobility. In 1981, the Generalitat de Catalunya bought the estate. The gardens were then made accessible to the public and the Palau now hosts the Catalan Centre for Information.
The Palau is built in the neoclassical style of the end of the 19th century and resembles many buildings on Passeig de Gracia. The entire property therefore gives great insight into the sophisticated Barcelona architecture at the end of the last century when the Eixample district was built.
The gardens are is a spectacular assortment of vegetation with huge plants and magnificent and colourful flowerbeds. However, green is the dominant colour in the garden that shines in different tones and that leads to a very nice interplay between colour and sunlight.
