Lonely Planet review for Parc de la Ciutadella

East of La Ribera and north of La Barceloneta, the gentle Parc de la Ciutadella makes a fine antidote to the noise and bustle of the city. After the War of the Spanish Succession, Felipe V built a huge fort (La Ciutadella) to keep watch over Barcelona. Only in 1869 did the government allow its demolition, after which the site was turned into a park and used to host the Universal Exhibition of 1888.
