Arcadia Spain

The “Parc del Laberint d´Horta” is a historical garden and the oldest of its kind, with an important labyrinth, which gives its name.

It started in the 18^th century following clearly neoclassical lines, filling the garden with Greek and Roman myths such as Echo and Narcissus, and harmonious figures all through the way. In the mid-19^th century, the Desvalls family’s descendants decided to expand the garden in the romantic style, and added other figures, numerous flower bets, small squares, trees, and even a waterfall.  Both styles are present in many shapes and perfectly blended with nature.  In 1967 it was ceded to the Barcelona Town hall, so now this landscape artwork is open to the public.

Some of our students had visited this amazing park and had the opportunity to explore the beautiful neoclassical and romantic garden, the hidden walkways, admire the waterfall and of course complete the maze!!

It is highly recommended to take a picnic and spend all the afternoon, if you want to relax this is the place, surrounding by all kind of flowers, plants, amazing fountains and statues!
