Jardins de Laribal, Mediterranean garden terraces in Sants-Montjuïc, Barcelona, Spain

Multiple terraces with stone paths, stairs, and pergolas extend throughout the mountainside, featuring Mediterranean plants, fountains, and water cascades within structured garden spaces.

The gardens, established between 1917 and 1924 for the International Exhibition of 1929, originated from land owned by lawyer Josep Laribal and were designed by Jean-Claude Nicolas Forestier.

The Jardines de Laribal incorporate elements of Hispano-Arabic garden design, with tiled benches, geometric patterns, and water features reflecting Mediterranean architectural traditions.

Access to the gardens is available daily from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM in winter and until 9:00 PM in summer, with entry through the Fundació Joan Miró stop.

The Font del Gat fountain, featuring a cat-head spout designed by Josep Antoni Homs, gained recognition through the traditional Catalan song La Marieta de l'ull viu.
