Its highest peak, also known as Tibidabo, is home to what was the first amusement park built in Spain. Here we will also find the Fabra Observatory and the Temple of the Sacred Heart.
This proximity marks its status as a residential and affluent area of the Barcelona upper class, with numerous parks and green areas, combined with prestigious educational and healthcare centers. The district is the result of former municipalities annexed to Barcelona such as Sarrià, Vallvidrera, and Sant Gervasi.
In La Bonanova, the upper part of Sant Gervasi, notable buildings are largely preserved, such as the Rotunda, the Fraile Blanco, and the Bellesguard, the latter being the work of Gaudí. Other notable urban elements are also the Tamarita Gardens, designed by Rubió and Tudurí, or the old Casacuberta factory, designed by Josep Domènech i Estapà, rehabilitated and recently complemented with a new building as the Science Museum.
