🔷Jardins del Doctor Pla i Armengol🔷
The Doctor Pla i Armengol gardens are located in the Horta-Guinardó district of Barcelona. They are found on a formerly privately owned farm that housed the Ravetllat-Pla Institute, a tuberculosis research center founded in 1919 by Dr. Ramon Pla i Armengol and the veterinarian Joaquim Ravetllat i Estech. The house and gardens of the estate, in the Noucentista style, were designed in 1930 by the architect Adolf Florensa. The gardens were opened to the public in 2019, with the house converted into the Núria Pla Museum.
Ramon Pla i Armengol (Alentorn, 1880-Mexico City, 1956) was a doctor specializing in bacteriology and infectious diseases. Specialized in the treatment of tuberculosis, he worked at the Hospital de la Santa Cruz y San Pablo in Barcelona and was one of the creators of the Board of Trustees of Catalonia created to fight this disease, as well as the Ravetllat-Pla Institute (with the veterinarian Joaquim Ravetllat i Estech). Also dedicated to politics, in 1917 he joined the Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE). In 1932 he joined the Socialist Union of Catalonia (USC), with which he obtained the act of deputy in the general elections of 1936. After the Civil War he went into exile in Mexico, where he founded Ediciones Minerva and the Bolsa del Catalan doctor. He returned to Barcelona in 1948.
The current gardens correspond to the estate of the old Ravetllat-Pla Institute. Founded in 1919, it had its first headquarters in Salt (Gerona province), the birthplace of Dr. Ravetllat, until after his death in 1923 it moved to Barcelona. In Barcelona it had several headquarters, until in 1927 doctor Pla acquired a Guinardó estate known as Los Seminarios or Casa Fitona, and entrusted the architect Adolf Florensa with the construction of the house and the design of the gardens, which ended in 1930 Pla and Ravetllat investigated the etiopathogenesis of tuberculosis and developed a theory not endorsed by official medical institutions, based on the horses they had on the farm. They created two anti-tuberculosis products, serum and the hemoantitoxin Ravetllat-Pla, popularly called "horse blood." In the absence of official support, they manufactured and marketed these products privately.
During the Civil War the house served as a refuge for the Basque Government in exile.
From 1940, Núria Pla Monseny (1916-2011), daughter of Dr. Pla and founder of the Ramon Pla i Armengol Foundation, took charge of the institution. She continued with the laboratory's activity until 1980. In 1989, with the opening of the Guinardó round, which she affected part of the farm, she donated it to the Barcelona City Council, whose transfer would become effective after her death. . In 2009 she donated the Institute's archive to the Unit for the History of Medicine of the Autonomous University of Barcelona. She died in 2011 without issue, shortly before her death, she drew up a new will where she bequeathed her estate to the Pla i Armengol Foundation. After a dispute between the City Council and the Foundation, in 2015 it was agreed to create a museum with the doctor's collection - made up of 800 pieces of furniture, painting, sculpture and goldsmith - managed by the Foundation under the ownership of the consistory, with a rehabilitation of the garden in charge of the City council.
The gardens were inaugurated on December 15, 2019 by the mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau, after a rehabilitation that entailed a cost of 8.6 million euros. Colau stressed in his speech that these gardens were a key piece of the green corridor Ciutadella-Collserola, a project that aims to communicate various green spaces in the city to connect sea and mountains and facilitate the migration of flora and fauna between the different natural spaces of the urban environment.
