El Parc del Calamot
Pine Trees
The area around the park, known in earlier times as La Roca, is the point where pine and carob tree forests meet. The pines crown the highest point of the park, close to the crag overlooking the delta plain, with views of the Llobregat Delta. The pines here are stone pines and two species of white pines, which can be distinguished from the former by the colour of their trunk, the shape of the branches and the smaller and more plentiful cones. Between the pines and the carob trees, olive and almond trees can be found.
Carob Trees
The carob trees on the lands of the old Can Ribes farm at the back of the park, built in the 18th century, still grow in their original rows, a plantation system adopted to make harvesting easier. Among the trees are small open spaces for visitors, where cypress and trees and Jerusalem thorns have been planted, along with aromatic plants and pampas grass - reeds that grows to over 2.5 m in height.
and History
In medieval times there was a settlement around La Roca, known by the same name, which disappeared in the 18th century. In the village were a fortified house and the chapel of Santa Maria Magdalena. Medieval and modern ruins have been found here, along with pottery and two small tanks dating from between the 1st century B.C. and 1st century A.D., providing evidence of earlier occupation. Close to the park is the Ca n´Horta farmhouse (referred to in documents dating from the 14th century) and the Iberian village of Calamot.
Details:
Area: 5.9 hectares
Services: drinking fountains, sports and children´s games, car park
