It was ceded to the <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/barcelona-city-hall\/\">Barcelona City Hall<\/a> in the 1970s, after undergoing an incredible expansion in the mid-19\u1d49 century with the help of architect Elies Rogent, a well-known figure in the town.<\/p>\n<p>The garden consists of <strong>several areas to visit.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>House and indoor garden <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The construction of the house is based on a defensive tower from the XII\u1d49 century. Its essence is neo-Mudejar and it is composed of a multitude of lobed arches. The garden dates from the XIX\u1d49 century. It is eclectic in style and features <strong>several busts, stairs, a gate and two lions guarding it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Italian garden <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is the oldest area of the Barcelona labyrinth. It features a central axis with several superimposed terraces, as well as several figures representing <strong>various interesting mythological scenes.<\/strong> One of them concerns the abduction of Europa, the myth that tells how Europa is abducted by Zeus, who has taken the form of a bull.<\/p>\n<p>Egeria's grotto has several levels with circular basins and staircases on both sides. The white marble statue of the nymph represents the end of the journey.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The first terrace <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>From the back of the house, you'll enter the following areas: the Place des Colonnes, the Jardin des Mousses, the Petit Labyrinthe, the Grotte du Minotaure and the Labyrinthe des Cypr\u00e8s.<\/p>\n<p>The second terrace has a balustrade with reliefs of Deucalion and Pyrrha, giving birth to stone children, and the Triumph of Venus. There are also two temples in honor of the women Danae and Ariadne, who were loved by the gods. In the upper part, two busts <strong>depicting the figures of Bacchus and Ariadne.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>The third terrace <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It features a neoclassical pavilion with porticoes and several reliefs dedicated to the arts and sciences. Behind this pavilion is a grotto dedicated to the nymph Egeria, who appears to be <strong>contemplate the whole garden beneath his feet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The romantic garden of the 19\u1d49 century <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It stands on a hill. Water is the protagonist here, in the form of a waterfall at the highest point. The garden is composed of other elements that recreate an unparalleled natural setting of canals, bridges, waterfalls and a faux cemetery.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc122920824\"><\/a><strong>How to get to Horta Labyrinth Park?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Horta Labyrinth Park is located in the northern part of Barcelona. <strong>It belongs to the Horta district<\/strong> and is located just above the Ronda de Dalt, an area of modern housing and newly-built apartments. Although not centrally located, it's easy enough to get to.<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona's oldest park is very close to the Horta Velodrome. If you want to get there by public transport, the easiest option is to use the metro. Simply take the <strong>green line 3 and get off at the Mundet stop.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/bus-barcelona\/\">bus<\/a> 27 and 76<\/strong> also pass fairly close to the Horta labyrinth park.
