Nova Icaria parkThe Nova Icaria Park is located by Port Olimpic, and the Nova Icaria beach. The park
is in a space with a very calm environment perfect for having a siesta or a quiet
lunch.

It contains a "placa dels campions", which rises to the park. The plaza is an elevated
platform with names of all the Olympic champions from summer olympics of 1992. Further,
an Olympic podium can be found with three seperate levels, indicated the different medal
categories. Five large wooden bridges has been built for pedestrians and one for vehicles,
in order to be able to cross the road. The bridges connect to the Port Olimpic beaches and continuing walking to the end of the bridges you reach a large lake with an outline of the Greek island Icaria.

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.
