Hiking

The Umbráculo has been designed to protect the plants from the sun and allow exotic species to grow. With its play of light and shadow, it recreates the conditions of tropical and subtropical forests.

Hiking

The Umbracle was designed to recreate the climatic conditions of shady, humid forests. The project began in 1883 by Josep Fontserè, but was halted for the 1888 Barcelona Universal Exhibition and resumed later. The building was finished by Josep Amargós i Samaranch. The Umbracle features a cast-iron structure with a curved iron roof and a central parterre with a path around it.
