Opposite the main information office of the Parc Natural de Collserola lies the historic 19th-century villawhere Catalonia’s revered writer Jacint Verdaguer lived in the final days before his death on 10 June 1902. Displays pay homage to Verdaguer's legacy and his impact on literature in Catalonia and beyond.
