Barcelona - Botanical Garden
|
|
Behind the Palau Nacional and forming part of the park of Montjuïc extends the Botanical Garden (Catalan: Jardí Botànic) with its beautiful flora. It was laid out immediately after the World Exhibition of 1929 on a site which included an abandoned quarry and by virtue of this location it possesses a range of microclimatic zones which can even offer good conditions of growth to exotic plants.
