As you make your way up the first sections of one ramp, you will be accompanied by the swaying branches of a Chinese wisteria (Wisteria sinensis) next to a wall that gradually gains height. During springtime the pome flowers, which can grow up to 30 cm and have a strong fragrances, fall, hanging from the railings, towards the garden. From the opposite side of the square, you can see the paved part, the stage for neighbourhood events, activities, festivals, auditions and shows. The lake, waterfall and backdrop of trees act as a screen and dampen the sound of the busiest streets.

The square was officially opened for public enjoyment in 1983, when democracy had been fully restored. It represents a local residents’ victory, a demand that is now a living, active reality in the form of a landscaped, neighbourhood square. The municipal architects A. Arriola, J.L. Delgado, J.M. Julià and C. Ribas answered the local residents’ needs and turned 22,000 m2 of space acquired by the City Council into a large square, with 15,413 m2 allocated to green space and the rest to paths, a civic square, and various facilities and services located in the lower part to make the most of the space created by the existing terrain between C/ Escultor Ordoñez and C/ Estudiant.
