Parc del Clot

Parks

parc del clotThe Parc del Clot is one of Barcelona’s most functional and urban parks and offers opportunities for anybody’s taste. One can relax in the shade, play ping pong or other sports, watch kids having fun in the provided playgrounds, go running or exercising in the sports centre nearby, etc.
The Parc del Clot definitively is made for spending time there and enjoying life and caters well to the needs of all its visitors –the well-mixed population of the Sant Marti district. The still visible remains of the railway and the former industrial surroundings combined with the vegetation offered, make this area even more unique and interesting. This has even led the park to being awarded the Opinion FAD Prize in the category of Public Spaces in 1986.

Gaudi Soundbites

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.
