Historical background
The Park was created and promoted by Salvador Samà i Torrens, Marquis of Marianao, heir to a Catalan family established in Cuba. The project was commissioned in the year 1881 to Josep Fontserè, author of the Park of the Ciutadella de Barcelona and with Antoni Gaudí as assistant.
Parc Samà is a roundtrip, a journey of emigration and return. Dreaming of America, coming back and leaving a legacy. Other trees, other birds, others costumes and colours, other arts… Adventure, culture and wealth. Parc Samà is the history and the story of the Marquisate of Marianao.
