Courtyard ponds

Pond with aquatic plants and fish in the middle of the Arts courtyard, 1930s.

During the period of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (1933-1939), the University Board undertook various works to restore and adapt the building. The establishment of lily ponds and grass areas with cypresses in the courtyards dates from this period.
