Labyrinth Park of Horta, Barcelona

Barcelona has many attractions, but one lesser known site is the Parc del Laberint d’Horta – or Labyrinth Park of Horta. Work on the labyrinth and gardens started in 1791 on what was a portion of the wealthy Desvalls family’s private estate. There are beautiful terraces to explore, along with the central maze. Built of tall, manicured hedges, the labyrinth runs for 2,000 feet. Those who don’t get lost will find a statue of the Greek God of Love, Eros, right in the centre.
