A historical green space

The Jardins de la Reina Victòria Eugènia, also known as the Jardí de les Quatre Copes, were promoted by Rubió i Tudurí, the then director of Barcelona City Council’s Public Parks and Trees department, from between 1917 and 1937, as a recreational nature space that would not interfere with vehicle transport.

To reclaim the spirit of these Noucentista-style gardens, the work will also include restoration of their original urban-furniture elements, such as their benches and the quatre copes (sculptures of urns), given their heritage value.
