The Artigas Gardens are a park in La Pobla de Lillet, Barcelona. Built between 1905 and 1906, they were designed by the Modernista architect Antoni Gaudí. As with many others of his works, Gaudí filled the gardens with arches and Catholic symbols. By the end of 1971, the gardens were practically abandoned.

The Artigas Gardens take up a surface area of 40,000 square metres, the approximate equivalent of four football pitches. After five decades of deterioration, refurbishment work on this park began in 1992.
"The project was commissioned by textile industrialist Joan Artigas Alart, who was captivated by Park Güell in Barcelona, which was at the time being constructed. Gaudí used Park Güell as inspiration when landscaping this leafy zone in the Pre-Pyrenees on the Llobregat’s banks."
"Gaudí conceived the commission to landscape industrialist Joan Artigas’ property in La Pobla de Lillet as a stroll along the banks of the River Llobregat, with several fountains and look-out points on the way. Gaudí focused practically all of his interventions around the springs and the points that allowed close-up enjoyment of the water spectacle that rushed rapidly down through the gardens."
"Loyal to his great source of inspiration, nature, Gaudí erects the elements of the garden using materials from the same zone or by imitating the forms of the local vegetation with other materials,...

The garden is small but interesting for Gaudi fans. A once in a lifetime experience was meeting the narrow gauge train head on with the car with no room to pull off from in front of it. Driving backwards on the track fast with a wall off rock to the left. And a fence to the right was a lot of fun.

Els Jardins Artigas són una autèntica joia amagada al cor del Berguedà. Dissenyats per Antoni Gaudí, et sorprenen des del primer moment per la seva harmonia amb la natura i l’originalitat de les formes. Passejar pels camins, ponts i fonts és com endinsar-se en un conte: tot està pensat per integrar-se amb l’entorn i transmetre pau i bellesa.
El so de l’aigua del riu Llobregat que travessa els jardins, les escultures i els detalls arquitectònics et fan sentir que cada racó té alguna cosa especial per descobrir. És un espai ple de màgia, ideal per fer fotos, però sobretot per deixar-se portar per la calma i l’encant que desprèn.
La visita és curta però molt intensa, i si la combines amb el Tren del Ciment es converteix en una experiència cultural i natural inoblidable. El manteniment dels jardins és excel·lent, i es nota la dedicació perquè aquest espai únic llueixi en tota la seva esplendor.
Com a punt a tenir en compte, algunes escales i recorreguts poden ser una mica perillosos per a nens petits, ja que hi ha forats entre les baranes on podrien caure. Tot i això, amb una mica de precaució, es pot gaudir perfectament de la visita.
En resum, els Jardins Artigas són una parada imprescindible per a qualsevol amant de la natura i l’art. Un tresor gaudinià que sorprèn i...
