Parc de Carls IHaving been built in the 1990s on the former industrial part of Poblenou the Parc de Carls I was part of the large urban renovation process that took place due to the Olympic Games being held in Barcelona in 1992.
The park itself is separated by 4 streets that divide it into 6 parts that are all distinct in character and that form the area into a unique puzzle of elements.
Worth mentioning is the waterfall that falls into a canal that then stretches out along the entire park. Also, the rich and varied vegetation together with wide grassy areas enable a relaxing walk or a nice rest in the shade. Additionally, this park offers one of the only and largest dog walking areas in Barcelona.

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.
