Discover El Clot Park in Barcelona

A Testament to a Working-Class Past

Built on land once occupied by the old Renfe workshops, Parc del Clot opened in 1986 and immediately became a neighbourhood focal point. Just like two other parks, Espanya Industrial and Pegaso, this park lies on land once occupied by old factories and industrial sites that fell into disuse. In this case the designers, Daniel Freixes and Vincent Miranda, opted to maintain some vestiges of that industrial past, such as the chimney stacks and arches that had formed part of the previous site and are now integrated into the park complex.
