Artigas Gardens, Art Nouveau garden in La Pobla de Lillet, Spain
Artigas Gardens is a four-hectare green space along the Llobregat River featuring stone paths, bridges, fountains, and architectural elements in the Catalan modernist style. The layout blends the landscape with artistic details that fit naturally into the surroundings.
The garden was designed in 1906 by architect Antoni Gaudí as a gift for textile manufacturer Joan Artigas Alart, who hosted him during construction work. This relationship between designer and patron shaped the creation of this unique site.
Four stone sculptures in the garden represent the evangelists through symbols: a bull, a lion, an eagle, and an angel positioned in cross formation. These figures shape the visual experience and give the space a spiritual layer that visitors encounter as they walk through.
The garden is open to visitors and offers guided tours and audio guides in multiple languages. A full exploration of the grounds takes about 40 minutes at a leisurely pace.
The garden remained hidden for decades and was rediscovered in 1971 when a researcher learned of its existence through conversations with a construction worker from the original project. This hidden history gives the place something special for visitors who discover it.
