park_joan_miroThe Park Joan Miró in Barcelona is situated close to Plaza Espanya. It has been opened in 1979 at a place where have been situated a Slaughterhouse before. That's why the originally park have called Slaugterhouse park (Parc de l'Escorxador).

The park has two levels, the first one is landscaped with pine, palm and eucalyptus trees and the second level contains sculptures of Joan Miró. At all, you can find more or less 30 sculptures of Miró. 


One of the most famous scupture is woman and bird (Donna i Ocell). Even if it is hard to recognise a woman and a bird, this sculpture is worth to see because of its size (70 feet) and its glazed ceramic tiles in colors like yellow, red and blue.

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.
