The land for these gardens was acquired in different phases. The successive interventions extended its surface to Jaca street.
Nothing is preserved of the original layout and vegetation.
Rectangular in structure, these gardens have a sports complex inside. They also have various playgrounds and a swimming pool.
These doors housed for a time, during the Civil War, the works of art from the Prado Museum; guarded by the Republican Government before the danger of destruction by the aerial bombings on Madrid.
The Central Market was carried out by Francesc Guardia i Vidal and Alexandre Soler i March (both from the Barcelona School of Architecture). The project was presented in 1910, but construction did not begin until 1914.
This square, which is next to that of San Nicolás, receives its name from an oven that was in it. It is not the current oven, which has been in existence since 1802; There must have been an older one, because in 1692 the square was already called that.
The convent has, attached to the wall and facing the river, a series of restored houses, which were the houses of the workers who exercised the different trades in the monastery. They were also used to temporarily house the relatives of the nuns during their visits to the convent.
Access to the church is from the square that is located behind these houses.
