Castle of the Three Dragons

This property is close to several attractions, including Ciutadella Park, which houses the Castle of the Three Dragons. Designed by architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner, this castle was constructed between 1887 and 1888 and served as a restaurant and café for the 1888 World's Fair. It combines modern, Gothic, and Moorish influences, and the three towers resembling dragons give it its name and appearance. Since 1930, it has been part of the Barcelona Zoological Museum. Animal enthusiasts visiting this castle can also explore the Barcelona Zoo located within the park.
