Parc de la Ciutadella
Every time someone enjoys a Sunday picnic here, they're picnicking on the memory of 1,200 demolished homes. I think about that every time I walk through.
Felipe V built his punishment citadel here in 1714, demolishing an entire neighborhood. The park you love was born from that erasure.
