Jardines Artigas

Jardines Artigas, in La Pobla de Lillet, is a set of gardens designed by Antoni Gaudí at the beginning of the twentieth century, and today it forms part of the exhibitions and cultural activities offered by the municipality.

The site was commissioned by the industrialist Eusebi Güell, who asked Gaudí for a refuge for the workers and engineers of the coal mine on Mount Catllaràs. The result is an open-air space with fountains, benches, railings and bridges that bears the mark of the Catalan architect.

Visitors walk through the garden and recognise in its materials the trencadís, the mosaic of ceramic fragments that Gaudí also used in other works in Barcelona. The offering is presented as a permanent collection, so it can be visited at any time.

This visit is designed for those who want to discover Gaudí's work outside the city and see how his forms were adapted to a mountain setting and to a specific industrial and social use.
