Barcelona Zoo, Zoo in Parc de la Ciutadella, Barcelona, Spain
The Barcelona Zoo spans 14 hectares and houses 300 different animal species, including mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians within naturalistic enclosures.
The zoo opened in September 1892 with animals from Lluís Martí Codolar's private collection, occupying buildings from the 1888 Universal Exhibition.
Educational programs at Barcelona Zoo teach visitors about wildlife conservation through guided tours, workshops, and interactive exhibits for students and families.
The zoo welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 AM, with extended hours during summer months and direct access from Ciutadella Vila Olímpica metro station.
The facility maintains breeding programs for endangered species such as the Iberian lynx and releases rehabilitated animals like European polecats into their natural habitats.
