Catalan architects of the Second Republic, brought together by the GATCPAC, proposed a new way of living that was just, accommodated co-existence and defended the collective identity. The creation of Casa Bloc was one of the first steps towards dignifying workers' living conditions. As a result of the Spanish Civil War, the project was cut short.

9. Parc del Turó de la Peira
The park on Turó de la Peira, located on the hill of the same name, extends over an area of 7.71 hectares that were part of an old quarry owned by the Marchioness of Castellbell.

However, on this land a group of houses was still built by the developer Romà Sanahuja Bosch, the same one that would later build the Diagonal block, and which today forms the heart of the neighborhood of the same name, and a religious school of the sisters of the Sacred Heart. With the arrival of the transition, the still undemocratic city council began the adaptation of the park itself, last work of the great master Nicolau Maria Rubió i Tudurí. Its maximum height is 138 meters above sea level on an esplanade with a large iron cross from where you can enjoy good views of the north of the city of Barcelona between the sea and Collserola.

Its summit is marked by a millstone on Paradís street, in front of the headquarters of the Centre Excursionista de Catalunya.

The trellis gazebo is trapped under three large trees, which are integrated as another part of the work.
