The gardens of the University of Barcelona were created at the same time as the building, in 1859, by the architect Elies Rogent. It consists of the landscaped spaces of the lateral cloisters of the building, as well as - to the fullest extent - the botanical garden located at the back of the architectural complex. Its original purpose was to make a garden available to students, but in 1995 it was opened to the general public, when the gardens were dedicated to the historian Ferran Soldevila. It is an intimate place of gathering, an oasis in the middle of the surrounding urban planning. In addition to its magnificent collection of exotic plants and species, it also has a greenhouse, which houses the most delicate species. It also contains a pond with fish and frogs, and various springs and springs, so that the presence of water is paramount throughout the whole. The garden has over one hundred and fifty plant species, including some of the oldest trees in the city. Among the older trees are two specimens included in the city's catalog of trees of interest: a ginkgo and a yew tree. You can take a walk in the garden and check in situ the descriptive sheets of the different plant species by capturing the QR codes of the signs with a smartphone. You will find more information in the following resources available.
