EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1905, showcases the stunning Barcelona, Spain's Parque Cascada, also known as Parc de la Ciutadella or Citadel Park. The image highlights the park's iconic fountain, which has been a beloved landmark for over a century. Located in the heart of Barcelona, in the district of El Born, this beautiful urban park covers an area of approximately 17 hectares. The park was originally designed as a military parade ground during the late 18th century, but later transformed into a public space in the mid-19th century. The fountain, a major attraction within the park, is depicted in all its glory in this photograph. The quadriga, or four-horse chariot, atop the fountain is adorned with the statue of Aurora, the Roman goddess of dawn, who holds the reins of a winged horse. The golden statue gleams atop the fountain, adding an air of grandeur and elegance to the scene. Palm trees, a common sight in Catalonia, line the park's walkways, providing shade and a tropical ambiance. The lush greenery, the crystal-clear water of the fountain, and the vibrant energy of the city come together in this photograph, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Barcelona. This photograph is a testament to the timeless beauty of Barcelona and its parks, inviting us to explore the city's past and present. It is a must-see for any traveler seeking to experience the essence of Catalonia and its unique blend of history, art, and natural beauty.
