Palau de les Heures, 19th-century palace in Horta-Guinardó, Barcelona, Spain.
The palace exhibits French château architecture with four cylindrical towers crowned by conical roofs, surrounded by three descending garden terraces.
Built between 1894 and 1898 by architect August Font i Carreras for industrialist Josep Gallart Forgas, who made his fortune in Puerto Rico.
The facade features allegorical sculptures called 'Les Heures' created by Josep Campeny, representing the passing of time through artistic interpretation.
Located at Passeig Vall d'Hebron 171, the palace and gardens open daily from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM in summer and 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM in winter.
The gardens combine French and Italian Renaissance styles across three levels, with magnolias, palm trees, and orange trees creating distinct botanical spaces.
