Parc Samà

Parc Samà is a historic garden and private botanical garden, declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest. It is located in the region of Bajo Campo, in the municipality of Cambrils. The park is situated 90 meters above sea level and is just 5 kilometers away from the Mediterranean coast. This makes it a unique location where visitors can enjoy both the beauty of the park and the nearby coastal views.

Historical Background of Parc Samà

The park was created and promoted by Salvador Samà i Torrens, Marquis of Marianao, who was the heir to a Catalan family established in Cuba. The project was commissioned to Josep Fontserè, who is known for his work on the Parc de la Ciutadella in Barcelona. The famous architect Antoni Gaudí assisted in the project, adding to the park's historical and architectural significance.

Lake and Islands in Parc Samà

One of the most attractive features of Parc Samà is its lake, complete with a canal and waterfall. The lake covers a surface area of 1 hectare and features three islands. These islands are linked by bridges made with cement that imitates the look of wooden trunks, adding a rustic charm to the park.
