Jardins de Vil·la Amèlia

The Jardines de Villa Amelia extends across 23,000 square meters of green space with numerous pathways, benches, and open areas for recreation.

Originally owned by Ignasi Girona as a summer retreat for his wife Amèlia de Vilanova, the property became a public park in 1970 under Barcelona City Council management.

A bronze sculpture of the Dryad nymph by Ricard Sala stands at the center of the pond, while The Snake Charmer by Jules Anthone adds artistic value.

The park operates daily from 8:00 to 22:30, offering ping-pong tables, children's play areas divided by age groups, and designated spaces for dogs.

A ninety-year-old banana tree, listed in the Catalogue of trees of local interest, stands among fifty different plant species throughout the park.
