The historic building of the University of Barcelona (UB), is one of the places that you cannot miss if you are in Barcelona. It is full of history, as its name indicates, “Historic Building”. In the middle of the university, we have beautiful gardens, an oasis of tranquility in the heart of the city. The emblematic building was designed by the architect Elies Rogent i Amat in the 19th century. ✨️📚
This beautiful place combines history, architecture and nature. The gardens are divided into two courtyards, the Ferran Soldevila Garden and the University Plaza Garden, and are home to a rich diversity of plant species, including magnolias, plane trees, palm trees and ornamental shrubs. They also have benches, fountains and sculptures that add a contemplative air to the space.
These gardens not only offer a relaxing environment for students and visitors, but are also part of Barcelona’s cultural heritage, representing a perfect balance between academia, art and nature. 🍃🌳🌞
You can also take advantage of the opportunity to visit the university library, it is one of the most impressive libraries you will ever see, it has a very strong book smell, it smells like very old books, you won’t want to leave there! You will also find books, magazines, newspapers, documentaries… on endless topics, especially on history and literature! 🌍
