Located next to the entrance of the park Creueta Coll Finca Sansalvador was commissioned Sansalvador that the doctor was the architect Josep Maria Jujol, a disciple of Gaudi, and went down in history as a Curious in Gracia. Initially, the idea was to own a summer home in front of the Paseo de la Virgen del Coll and lift the upper part of the land rented by another tower. The anecdote is that during the works, he found a mine water with supposed medicinal properties radiological and the doctor decided to market under the brand Agua Radial.
