Parc Diagonal Mar was built on the site of the former Macosa factory as part of the revitalization of industrial spaces. It was opened in 2002. It is famous for modern small architecture, you can relax on comfortable concrete armchairs, admire plants in mosaic pots and walk under iron pergolas. The park was designed by architects Enric Miralles and Benedetta Tagliabue.
Children's playgrounds are also uniquely decorated. Toddlers can benefit, among others from wide slides placed on the slope of a small hill. The path network connects harmoniously with the vast water reservoirs, fountains and waterfalls.
In accordance with the intention of the main architects, individual parts of the park are to symbolize the next stages of human life, from the moment of his birth. This is the first park in Barcelona that was created to protect the environment - energy-saving lighting was installed and special plants were selected that do not need constant irrigation.
