Palau de les Heures
Yesterday revisited with Anta's the Horta Labyrinth Park and took the opportunity to go to the nearby Jardins del Palau de les Heures. Perhaps one of the least known parks in the city, not because it worthwhile but may be due to its difficult location, with access from a road inside the Campus Mundet, and getting in on the wooded Collserola and above Montbau neighborhood. It is a garden loaded with many Canarian palms and Washingtonia, but has little ivy, which is what it is named. It is a quiet corner, but expected to be larger or more colorful and flowery, not so monotonous. Presiding
all is the Palau de les Heures, built by a Font in August 1895, coincidentally the same architect's original Bullring Arenas. It is an imposing building, with four round towers topped by conical peaks, the style of French chateaux. Served as the residence of the President ana, which never came to occupy the palace. If they settle down Who was the President Companys, to protect themselves from the bombing of Barcelona in the Civil War and where he built an underground shelter.
