Have you heard about the artigas gardens? Well, you should know that it is a park designed by Gaudí himself and Park Güell is not the only natural work created by this artist. The Jardins Artigas are located in La Pobla de Lillet, the second city with the most works by Gaudí, after Barcelona.

The story goes that this beautiful park was built as thanks from the artist himself to Mr. and Mrs. Artigas, for allowing him to live in their house (for this reason it also bears his name). Undoubtedly a spectacular gift where nature and architecture made the magic.

Like most of Gaudí’s works, these gardens are made of stone and mortar, taking advantage of the park’s vegetation. Among the works that you can see during your visit to the park are: fountains, waterfalls, squares, gazebos and sculptures, mainly by the artist.

It is also important to note that today this site is part of the Cultural Asset of Local Interest, is owned by the municipality and is open to the public most of the year.
