Antoni Gaudí, renowned for iconic works like the Sagrada Família and Park Güell, left a unique mark on Catalan architecture, blending modernism with deep inspiration from nature. Beyond his most famous monuments, the architect created lesser-known gems, such as the Can Artigas Gardens, located in Berguedà.
These gardens, designed between 1905 and 1906 in La Pobla de Lillet, were born as Gaudí's thank you to the Artigas family for hosting him while he worked on the Xalet del Catllaràs. The landscape work reflects the architect's essence, with details like 'trencadís', catenary arches, and organic forms.
The tour through the gardens reveals Gaudí's characteristic elements in railings, benches, fountains, and bridges. Spaces like the Grotto or the Broken Arch Bridge incorporate religious references, with elements representing apostles. The tranquility of the place, near the Llobregat River, invites a relaxed stroll.
The complete visit lasts approximately 40 minutes. Tickets can be purchased at the box office for 5.50 euros (general admission), with reduced rates for seniors, students, and children. Opening hours vary by season. A popular way to arrive is via the Cement Train, a former industrial railway converted into a tourist attraction.
