LARIBAL GARDENS
From a higher place, close to the Miró Foundation, to the surroundings of the Greek Teatre, following the curve of the Paseo de Santa Madrona, this large garden has been created by Jean-Claude-Nicolas Forest for the 1929 Exhibition. Originally, it was a large property owned by the lawyer and journalist, Josep Laribal, director of the newspaper El Diluvio. In 1908, it was purchased by the Ayuntamiento, which entrusted it to the French gardener. It made it a Spanish-Arabic garden that benefits from the slopes of the old quarries that were there and the existing vegetation. There was a set of waterfalls flowing into waterfalls, paths with pleasant curves, where you can admire the city. In the lower part is the historic font Font del Gat, a chat fountain, memories of the fountains that were at other times popular places of rest by the hikers fleeing the city.
