The Jardí dels Drets Humans is an outstanding green space in the Marina – Zona Franca neighbourhood, in the Sants-Montjuïc district. It is inside the block situated between Passeig de la Zona Franca and C/ Amnistia Internacional, C/ Jane Adams and C/ Foneria, occupying an area of over 12,560 m2.
History
The garden was designed in the 1960s by Mrs Van der Harst, a landscape artist and the wife of the then manager of the Philips factory, to provide the workers there with a space for relaxing in during their working-day rest periods.
Regarding the name “Human Rights Garden”, there are 30 lighting points placed at random on the route round with the 30 Articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (United Nations, 1948) and another point with a poem by the Argentinian poet, Maria Elena Walsh, Como la cigarra, that pays homage to the people who went missing during the military dictatorships in Chile and Argentina.
