Jardín Botánico Histórico de Barcelona, Botanical garden in Montjuïc, Spain.

The Historic Botanical Garden of Barcelona extends across 14 hectares on Montjuïc Mountain, featuring 1,300 Mediterranean plant species arranged in themed sections.

Established in 1930 by botanist Pius Font i Quer, the garden began as a research center for Mediterranean flora conservation and botanical studies.

The garden represents five Mediterranean climate regions through its plant collections from Australia, California, Chile, South Africa, and the Mediterranean Basin.

Located at Carrer Doctor i Font Quer, the garden offers wheelchair-accessible pathways and can be reached via the Montjuïc Cable Car or from nearby metro stations.

The garden contains a specialized bee house where visitors can observe bee colonies and learn about their role in Mediterranean plant ecosystems.
