Jardins de Pedralbes (Pedralbes Gardens)
The primary entrance to the Jardins de Pedrables is on Avinguda Diagonal, and visitors are greeted with a pool dominated by a marble female figure after passing through the wrought-iron gate. At the other end of the park, the former palace now houses the Museums of Decorative Arts, Ceramics, and Interior Design.
The formal gardens combine English and French styles, but Mediterranean influences abound, as seen by the park's numerous sculptures, many of which were sculpted in the early twentieth century. The park is known for its numerous rare trees, including a Sictus tree (Tetraclinis articulata), stone pine (Pinus pinea), and Himalayan cedars. Japanese cedars, Atlas cedars, and incense cedars are among the other notable trees. There are various types of cypress trees, as well as shrubs such as boxwood and sweet bay. Bougainvillea may be seen climbing trees and structures around the park, and the 250-meter surrounding wall of the garden is adorned with it.
