Horta Labyrinth' Park is the oldest garden in Barcelona, a clear example of late 18th century neoclassical gardens. It is a true open air museum that follows a previously determined itinerary.

Of extraordinary beauty, it holds the many secrets of a long history. In 1791, Antoni Desvalls, marquis of Llupiá and Alfarrás, began landscaping his property, at a time when its location was well outside the city limits. In charge of the project was the Italian architect Domenico Bagutti. Later on, when the family could no longer maintain the park, they decided to donate it to the City council, which made it a public park in May of 1971.

The park spreads over 9ha there is, 8 of which are landscaped. It is located in an area of slopes and surrounded with forest vegetation. It is divided in three levels or staggered terraces, with an Italian touch that combines the neoclassical and romantic styles. On top is a pond from which to water the garden. In the middle are found small temples with domes sustained by Toscan columns, and at the lowest level the labyrinth of vegetation that gives its name to the park.

Being surrounded by forest, it stresses out the organization of nature in the garden and the overall natural settings. Inside the property is a medieval defence tower, known as Tower Subirana, embedded to the neoclassical house - at the moment headquarters of the Education Centre of the labyrinth. The gardens has rest areas with beautiful elements, big and small decoration details: sculptures, terracotta jardinières, pergolas, cascades and other water elements.

The park's rehabilitation took place between 1993 and 1995, thanks to the financial support of the European Union. The park opened again in 1994 with the objective of taking its right place among other gardens of similar significance in the world.

Recently a game and picnic area for children has been set up. The museum opens from 10 am until nightfall and the entrance park is free on Wednesdays and Sundays.
