Parc de Diagonal Mar, Modern park in Sant Martí district, Barcelona, Spain

The park extends over 14 hectares with seven distinct areas featuring elevated walkways, water features, lakes, sculptures, and recreational spaces for multiple activities.

The former Macosa smelting plant site underwent transformation starting in 1999, leading to the park's completion in 2002 as part of Barcelona's coastal development.

Architects Enric Miralles and Benedetta Tagliabue designed metal structures and flowing water systems that connect different sections through elevated tubes.

The park includes children's playgrounds, skating paths, bike lanes, benches, pergolas, and accessible facilities for visitors with disabilities.

A 150-year-old Canary Island dragon tree from Tenerife was replanted during construction and stands as a natural centerpiece within the park.
