Parc del Laberint d'Horta (Horta Labyrinth Park)
The Horta Labyrinth Park is well worth the time and effort, despite its location on the outskirts of the city to the north in the Horta district. The labyrinth in the center of the park, constructed by Domenico Bagutti in 1791, is made up of dense walls of manicured cypress trees. A small fountain and a statue of Eros, the Greek God of Love, are located in the maze's center.
Throughout the park, there are various temple-like pavilions, many of which provide excellent views of the labyrinth and park. Tourists will find sculptures of Greek figures there, as well as around the park, including Theseus and the nine muses. There is an elevated neoclassical pavilion and pond at the park's back, from where tourists may get the best views of Barcelona. A linden tree and a Himalayan cedar, both included in the Catalogue of Trees of Local Interest, as well as a Jupiter tree, a camelia plantation, evergreen oaks, and a sequoia may be found in the park.
