Open day at the Hivernacle

The Hivernacle Greenhouse is a unique building with extraordinary heritage and natural value that is divided into three areas: the central hall, which shares information about the Ciutadella as a scientific park; the Magnolias Hall, which contains the permanent exhibition with the live plant collection; and the Picasso Hall, designed for temporary exhibitions on natural sciences associated with the neighbouring Martorell Exhibition Centre.

Built 135 years ago by Josep Amargós i Samaranch, the Hivernacle was one of the buildings in the 1888 Universal Exposition and is currently protected as a Cultural Asset of Local Interest.

Now open to the public after being closed for a long time, the Hivernacle is a space where the botanical collections are tended to and displayed to the public and the ideal venue for a wide variety of outreach activities whose purpose is to share nature and botanical knowledge with citizens while enhancing the heritage value of the Parc de la Ciutadella.
