Ciutadella parc in Barcelona
Nestling in the heart of the Ciutadella district, this 17-hectare park takes its name from the Ciutadella fortress which was built after the War of Succession, then bombed in 1843 and totally demolished in 1868 during the Revolution.
Twenty years later, Ciutadella Park was the site of the 1888 Universal Exhibition, for which the Triumphal Arch, which forms one end of the park, was built to mark its entrance.
