Font del Gat

Between 1916 and 1918, Jean-Claude Nicolas Forestier with Nicolau M. Rubió and Tudurí as an assistant, directed from a project the development and conditioning of the garden of Laribal, other neighbouring areas and also the space of Roserar.

Forestier left Montjuïc in 1919, because of his differences with Josep Puig i Cadafalch and finally it was Rubió i Tudurí who finished executing the works, which introduced some important changes regarding the initial project.

In the Laribal's garden, the space of the Font del Gat was renewed and the head of a carved cat by Josep Antoni Homs was placed as a spurter.

[2] Subsequently, around 1925, Puig i Cadafalch built next to the fountain a restaurant where large family celebrations such as baptisms or communions could take place.

In the pine wood an oval panel shows two symmetrical black cats, on the card, there is the inscription "1884" and, therefore, before the intervention of Puig i Cadafalch.
