Collserola Natural Park, Nature reserve in el Papiol, Spain.

The natural park spans 8,295 hectares between Besós and Llobregat rivers, featuring Mediterranean forests with pine trees and oak groves throughout the protected area.

The park received official protection status from the Generalitat of Catalonia in 2010, following a 1987 Special Plan for Natural Environment Protection and Management.

The Sant Medir Shrine, constructed in the 10th century, stands as a Romanesque structure within the park and draws visitors during March celebrations.

Visitors can access twelve marked trails of different lengths, with a dedicated mobile application providing multilingual guidance through the natural reserve.

The Torre Negra, a 12th-century defense tower located within the park boundaries, contains reported underground tunnels connecting to a nearby monastery.
