What you'll see
The old town's big green park: a grand waterfall fountain with gilded statues, a boating lake, palm trees and the red-brick Arc de Triomf at the end of its promenade.
A brief history
It's built on the site of a hated fortress put up after 1714 to control the city; the land became a park for the 1888 Universal Exhibition.
