Horse chestnut

Plaça de Carles Buïgas, 8

Observations:
This isolated specimen of horse chestnut has reached a large size despite the fact that this species is native to climates colder than that of Barcelona. This horse chestnut is a wonderful sight especially in the month of April when it comes into bloom.
