Parc Samà Cambrils
The Parc Samà, of 14 hectares of extension, is the modernist, historical and botanical garden of Cambrils, Costa Dorada, declared Cultural Asset of National Interest.
He was promoted by Salvador Samà Torrens, Marquis of Marianao - heir of a Catalan family established in Cuba, which in 1881 commissioned the design of Josep Fontserè (author of the Ciutadella de Barcelona Park) and helped by Antoni Gaudí, recovering from this way the exotic and colonial atmosphere of colonial Cuba. It is considered one of the best examples of romantic gardening of the nineteenth century.

You will discover the relationship between modernism and nature in the hands of the maestro Josep Fontseré and his disciple Antonio Gaudí: a place from which to understand the exceptionality and inspiration of the work of this universal Catalan. Grottoes, walkways and benches that evoke rocks, conches and branches... It is the beginning of modernism and the profession of Antoni Gaudí.
