Jardins del Mirador de l'Alcalde, Urban park on Montjuïc Mountain, Barcelona, Spain

The garden consists of multiple terraces connected by stone staircases, with flowerbeds and rest areas offering views of Barcelona's coastline and port.

The gardens were established in 1963 following Franco's transfer of Montjuïc Castle to Barcelona City Council, marking a period of urban development.

The space features a 420-square-meter mosaic by Joan Josep Tharrats incorporating pebbles, cobblestones, and glass, alongside sculptures by Josep Maria Subirachs.

Visitors can access the gardens via the Montjuïc Cable Car or from the Miramar stop on the Barcelona Bus Turístic Red Route.

The central ornamental fountain, designed by Carles Buïgas, creates a cascade effect as water flows from the upper pool to the lower basin.
