Aerial view of Artigas Gardens or Jardins Artigas designed by Antoni Gaudí. View of the arches bridge in La Pobla de Lillet, Catalonia, Spain. In 1905 Gaudí traveled to La Pobla de Lillet to build the Catllaràs chalet, a mountain refuge for the engineers of the coal mines that supplied the Asland cement factory, in the neighboring town of Castellar de Nuch, owned by Eusebi Güell, a wealthy industrialist who was the main patron of the architect. During his stay in the town, Gaudí stayed at the home of the textile industrialist Joan Artigas i Alart, who had a piece of land in the so-called Fuente de la Magnesia, in the bed of the Llobregat river. In gratitude for the hospitality of Mr. Artigas, Gaudí designed the gardens for him
