Situated to the East of Barcelona in the El Born district, this green space is on the site of a former military fortress, the Citadel, which was here until 1869 when the government official General Prim ordered the demolition of the building and the return of the land to the city and his statue on horseback is one of many throughout the park. However, the most impressive is the Monumental Waterfall, which is the Parc de la Ciutadella’s most eye-catching feature and opened in 1881. It is the work of the master builder Josep Fontseré, who was appointed to undertake the transformation of the area but was assisted in the Waterfall by a young Antoni Gaudí. It is also home to the Parlament de Catalunya building that was built in 1932.
