Turó Park owes its name to the old amusement park there used to be in the grounds of the Bertrand-Girona family until 1929. After an agreement was reached between the family and the City Council, Nicolau M. Rubió i Tudurí, then director of the Barcelona parks service, suggested building Turó Park on the estate as we know it today. The park, dedicated to the poet Eduard Marquina, is compact and elegant, and it retains a large part of the original trees, such as a hundred-year-old carob tree, laurel trees, poplars, holm oaks, etc. One of the best parts of the park is the pond, surrounded by trees and covered by water lilies that flower in spring.
