Mais do que um espaço de lazer e ao ar livre, o parque da cidade é um triunfo à opressão e ao poder central. Hoje é um local muito procurado para correr, descansar à sombra, andar de barco no lago, passear as crianças. Outrora, chamava-se Citadel, e foi originalmente construída para intimidar os catalães, após a tomada de poder do novo governo, pelas mãos de Filipe V. Guardado por 8000 soldados, este era o local de eleição para execução de vários insoburdinados políticos.
Em 1868, Juan Prim, oficializou o processo de demolição, para mais tarde a área ser restruturada naquilo que se conhece atualmente.
Prova de que as coisas boas conseguem apagar as más do passado. Hoje, muitas coisas boas se passam naquele lugar.
Nas imediações poderá visitar o Arco do Triunfo, a Fonte Monumental (de Gaudi), o Museu Geológico ou o Museu de Zoologia.
Triomphe's Arc and the Park City
More than a leisure and outdoor area, the city park is a triumph over oppression and central power. Today it's a popular location for running, rest in the shade, boating on the lake, strolling children. Formerly, it was called Citadel, and was originally built to opress the Catalans after the takeover of the new government at the hands of Philip V. Guarded by 8000 soldiers, this was the site of choice for executing many unruly members of the society.
In 1868, Juan Prim, formalized the process of demolition, and later the area was restructured in what is currently known.
Proof that good things can erase the bad from the past. Today, many good things mark that place.
In the vicinity you can also visit the Arc of Triomphe, the Monumental Fountain (by Gaudi), the Geological Museum or the Museum of Zoology.
