Horta Labyrinth Park
The Horta Labyrinth Park (Parc del Laberint d'Horta) in Barcelona is the city's oldest park, named after the Horta-Guinardo district. It is located on the former private land of the Desvalls family in the heart of the Collserola mountain (Serra de Collserola). The park features a neoclassical garden from the 18th century, as well as a romantic garden from the 19th century. The Labyrinth Park covers an area of 750 square meters and is home to various rare plants such as holm oak, spherical eucalyptus, arbutus, camellias, irises, and others. The park's history dates back to 1791 when the Marquis Joan Anthony Desvalls and the Italian architect Bagutti designed the neoclassical garden. Later, the architects Jaume and Andreu Valls, and Delvalier were also involved in the project. Rogent was hired to expand the park of the Labyrinth, and he designed a romantic garden with flower beds, a waterfall, and gazebos. In 1880, a home garden was built next to the Desvalls Palace.
