The Jardí Ferran Soldevila, most commonly known as the Jardins de la Universitat is nestled in the heart of the Eixample surrounding the university’s most iconic building. Ivy creeps up the metal and stone walls, and ferns and thick grass cover the ground. Tall sycamores, oaks, pines, cypress and carob trees—some of the oldest in the city—provide shade and infuse the air with rich fragrance. The historic building, dating back to 1871, has a beautiful interior courtyard with a still pond, a perfect place to take a break from the busy work day.
