Historic garden of 3,568 m2, well-preserved work by Jean Claude Nicolas Forestier, and remodeled by Joan Mirambell.
Surrounded by the Casa del Marquès de Alella, which today is the headquarters of the Julio Muñoz Ramonet Foundation.

History

Ferran Fabra i Puig commissioned the garden to Jean-Claude Nicolas Forestier (1861-1930) who introduced the concept of a Mediterranean garden in the city, especially in the Montjuïc mountain, landscaped by the 1929 International Exposition.

It consisted of a space divided into three terraces. In the main there was a rectangular central pond, with a fountain and decoration with terra cotta pots that mark the perimeter. They closed the set 3 U-shaped pergolas with roses. Before Avenir Street there was an area dedicated to flowers.

In 1933 Ferran Fabra applied for a works license to build a rental housing at the streets of Muntaner and Avenir, which meant losing 529 m2 of the original garden.

Fifty was commissioned the remodeling Joan Mirambell i Ferran (1892-1983). His design lasted. It includes slopes to bring the height of the palace garden up and lift the sides, as well as changing the orientation of the pond and the pergola. There are sculptures by Josep Dunyach i Sala (1886-1957) and Josep Cañas i Cañas (1905-2001). In the garden in front of Avenir street tower, replaced the space of flowers through a bath area surrounded by pergola columns that is completed with pedestals with bronze sculptures by Josep Dunyach and Vicenç Navarro Romero (1888-1979). He planted lawns, magnolia, cycads and palm trees.

Rehabilitation actions

The primary objective of the work done in the garden has been to recover the spirit of the Forestier project and to respect the quota modification of the Mirambell source area. The main actions have been to prune, preserve and eliminate the vegetation that was in a bad state, recover and conserve some emblematic trees - black hawthorn, laurel - and plant new vegetation. The pool has also been replaced by a pond and landscaping has been improved with the accessibility of the routes and the renovation of the irrigation and lighting system.
