Description: he labyrinth is expression of spatial thinking since times immemorial. It demonstrates the mankind’s eternal efforts to salvation from the evil and to reaching perfection.The Barcelona Labyrinth with its spacious park (Parc del Laberint d'Horta) is located in Barcelona’s Horta-GuinardÓ district, Spain.The park was established in 1791 when the Desvalls family planted many cypress trees in their estate. Later, an architect Elies Rogent expanded the park by adding flowerbeds, pavilions, waterfalls and canals. The park also holds temples, grottoes and high reliefs, dedicated to the Greek mythological heroes.The Barcelona labyrinth is dedicated to the Greek myth “Theseus and the Minotaur” and portrays the Minotaur’s castle. At the entrance of the labyrinth one can see a spherical obelisk symbolizing the Ariadne’s thread, whereas at the central platform there is a statute to Eros, the god of love, which stands as a sign of overcoming the labyrinth.The Barcelona labyrinth was fully renovated by the European Union funding assistance and along with the surrounding park was given the status of a park museum. At present it is a renowned cultural center.
