Parks & Nature

Oreneta-puisto

The Parc de l'Oreneta opened in 1978, in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, where the Collserola ridge meets the city, on a site once occupied by two rural estates, Can Bonavia and Oreneta Castle, from which the park takes its name. The castle was built in the higher part of the estate, and today only a few walls remain. This green area, in the high part of Barcelona, features characteristic Mediterranean woodland species that had encroached on the abandoned farmland and includes pines, evergreen oaks and northern red oaks, fruit trees, as well as undergrowth rich in shrubs, and a wide variety of aromatic herbs. A network of paths makes it possible to explore this compact wooded area and lie in the shade

Sightseeing

Fundacion Cultural Privada Rocamora

The Casa Rocamora is an imposing palazzo located in the uptown district of El Putxet. The former home of the avid collector Manuel Rocamora Vidal, it is now open to the public. Rocamora specialised in early clothing (many items from his collection are on display at the design museum, the Museu del Disseny de Barcelona), but he also amassed an important collection of Alcora pottery, and 19th- and 20th-century paintings, drawings and sculptures.
