The Horta labyrinth

The Horta labyrinth Park (El Laberinto de la Horta) garden is the oldest existing in Barcelona. The park features a neoclassical garden and a romantic garden, but the biggest attraction of the park is the labyrinth, formed by several ciprés.

It was built during the 18th century by the architect Domenico Bagutti to design a landscape for Antoni Desvalls. In 1971, the park was given to the city, as the family could no longer keep up with such a garden. It is 17 acres of romantic green gardens, waterfalls, statues, and a labryrinth in the middle.The Labryrinth has many mythological creatures around the park.

The park opens every day at 10 am until sunset. It costs 3 euros to enter, however on Sunday and Wednesday it is free.
