This maze is just one beautiful part of the oldest park in Barcelona. Like many other European mazes, this one got its start as part of a massive estate. The Parc del Laberint d’Horta (Labyrinth Park of Horta) surrounds an enormous eighteenth-century mansion. The park isn’t very close to the other major tourist attractions of Barcelona, so it’s a bit of a hidden gem. The impressive hedge arcs in the middle of the maze surround a statue of Eros, the Greek god of love. A picturesque circular pool sits at the far end of the maze, surrounded by more hedge arcs. This maze is more of a space for reflection and contemplation than a puzzle to be solved.
