An episode of the movie "Perfume" was filmed in this park.
The history of the park began in 1791. Then it was made as a neoclassical garden. Almost from the very beginning, a labyrinth was laid, which is the main element of the park and the SUP park is often called simply a labyrinth. The founder of the park is a certain Marquis Joan Anthony Desvalls y d'Arden. A hundred years later, the park was expanded and converted into a romantic garden with flower beds, gazebos, waterfalls and a canal. At the end of the 19th century, the Desvalls estate became a public place where various public events were held. In 1967, the Desvalls family gave the park to the city and in 1971 the park was opened to the public. Later, a large-scale restoration was made. They may not be allowed into the park, as there is an entry limit - no more than 750 visitors at a time. You need to behave calmly in the park - no bicycles and noisy games.
The labyrinth itself is small (I saw even more) - 45x48 meters in size.
The fence is a cypress planting more than 2 m high. There are small pavilions there, called the temples of Danae and Ariadne, because they are copies of some ancient Roman temples.
Very nice themed gardens, fountain, waterfall, canal. As for me, visiting the park is a pleasant and memorable event. Recommend.
