The Parc de la Ciutadella stands on the site of the old military citadel from which it takes its name. Some of the old buildings from the fort are still in existence today, such as the chapel, the Governor’s Palace and the arsenal, today seat of the Parliament of Catalonia.

The park is the perfect place to relax and has a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere and pleasant attributes such as the spectacular waterfall, the pond, flower gardens, and an abundance of trees. It is also the location of the  Museu de Zoologia, a building designed by the architect Domènech i Montaner.
Another area of the park is occupied by the large zoo. One of the most evocative corners of the park is a brick and wood building known as the Umbracle, whose interior spaces filled with lush tropical plants, are defined by slender iron columns. The Hivernacle, a wrought-iron and glass construction, has been recently restored for exhibitions and cultural events.Source: barcelonaturisme
