Jardins del Doctor Pla i Armengol

The four-hectare park contains multiple entrances, naturalized ponds, and more than 100 trees alongside 112,000 shrubs representing 140 different species.

In 1930, architect Adolf Florensa designed this garden space, which housed the Ravetllat-Pla Institute dedicated to tuberculosis research and pharmaceutical production.

The central palace, spanning 2,500 square meters, now functions as the Núria Pla museum, displaying collections of furniture, sculpture, painting, and metalwork.

The park remains accessible daily from 10 AM until sunset through its four entrances, with the nearest metro station being Guinardó-Hospital de Sant Pau on line L4.

The gardens feature wooden pyramids for insect habitation and floating platforms for amphibians, creating specialized environments for local wildlife populations.
