Torre i jardins de Vil·la Cecília i Amèlia, Historical mansion and gardens in Sarrià, Spain
Torre i jardins de Vil·la Cecília i Amèlia is a historic mansion and two connected gardens in Sarrià featuring geometric pathways, fountains, and Mediterranean plants. The property includes organized walkways and landscaped spaces designed for both peaceful strolling and community gatherings.
Ignasi Girona built Villa Amèlia in 1864, while Eduardo Conde acquired the property in 1909 and constructed Villa Cecília alongside it. Over time, the two connected properties became a significant cultural landmark for the Sarrià neighborhood.
The mansion now serves as the Sarrià Civic Center, hosting exhibitions and a library where locals gather for community events. You can experience how the space connects the neighborhood through cultural activities and shared gatherings.
The estate is located at Santa Amèlia Street 1 and offers regular visiting hours with designated garden areas for cultural events. Before your visit, check current access conditions since availability may vary depending on community activities and scheduled events.
The gardens feature distinctive pink asphalt walkways lined with trees that give the space an unusual appearance. Scattered throughout are bronze sculptures, including a piece called Ophelia by artist Francisco López, which appear unexpectedly among the greenery.
