Lonely Planet review

Stroll, punt on the little lake or snooze in verdant Parc de la Ciutadella, site of Catalonia's regional parliament, the city zoo (for now; see ), a couple of museums and the monumental Cascada (waterfall) created in 1875-81 by Josep Fontsère with the help of a young Gaudí. The park was created when the hated 18th-century Ciutadella fortress, built by Madrid to keep watch over the restless population, was demolished.
