Originally, this place was occupied by wealthy families and used as a summer residence. It housed luxurious houses and gardens. Due to the Spanish Civil War, many of these families left to never return. Once the war ended, the gardens were abandoned for many years, until Barcelona's City Council decided to renew it and finally open them to the public in 1975.
Can Vidalet Park is especially known for its lush vegetation, romantic inspiration, charming houses and panoramic views . When you visit you'll quickly understand why people like this park so much.

What to see here?
Can Vidalet is a strange combination of geometric forms, integrating houses and areas of vegetation to the relief created so that everything blends with the surrounding nature. The park is divided into 4 areas:
Area A: The Mansion
This is the main entrance of the park. Go through the beautiful wrought iron gate and see the palace, which is now a language school. In a neoclassical style, this house is the only thing that has remained standing through the years. There's basketball court right next door.
