The Winter Hall was built 135 years ago by Josep Amargós i Samaranch, a few years full of art and nature, in which it was an integral part of the Universal Exhibition of 1888, and which will mean that this facility is currently protected as a Cultural Asset of Local Interest. It is a heritage space dedicated to the preservation of nature and biodiversity.
