Monday, we began by exploring a quieter and more sedate Citadel Park. Barcelona's largest park has a lake with rowboats, a zoological museum, a zoo and numerous other activities. The Catalonian provincial Parliament building is also here, in what was the arsenal of the fort that once stood here before it was razed for the park.
