The park at the Pedralbes Royal Palace has its origins in an estate belonging to the Güell family, ceded in 1920 for the construction of a residence for the royal family, something that Barcelona lacked. The simplicity of the result and the “traditional” resources (water, pot plants…) used combine perfectly with the Classical busts that adorn the pleasant, unimposing balustrade and façade of the palace building, also conveying a sensation of extreme elegance. The palace building is currently home to the Museum of Decorative Arts and the Ceramics Museum.
