When you pass through the gate into the Jardins de La Tamarita, you enter a Barcelona that takes you back to a time when the bourgeoisie were building themselves mansions surrounded by gardens in the upper part of the city.
These gardens are a good place for a rest and some peace and quiet, far from the madding crowd, on the other side of the stone and wrought-iron wall that surrounds the gardens, built to safeguard a space that was once private and which is now public.
History
The Jardins de La Tamarita are a living example of a private garden that has become a public space and a piece of public heritage. They are part of a two-hectare estate that once belonged to the Craywinckel family and which was bought by the cotton manufacturer Alfredo Mata at the start of the 20th century. He had a house surrounded by gardens built there, with a design considered to be one of the first by the architect and landscape artist Nicolau M. Rubió i Tudurí, who kept the original plant forms and layouts.
