Josep Pujiula Labyrinth
Laberint Josep Pujiula by Smolera/Wiki Commons
Using arching branches from natural trees in the area, Josep Pejiula has devoted the last thirty years to creating tunnels and walkways as part of a giant labyrinth on 1.5 acres of public land. Wooden towers up to 30 meters high give an added fortress feel to the tree-like maze.
Visitors have flocked to the site to try their hand at solving the labyrinth, and still others go to clamber up the tall towers and take advantage of the vantage point at the top. Winding its way through the land, the basket-weave tunnels take guests past other attractions created by the artistic former tile worker, like the steps leading down to the serene pool set into the den by the Fluvià River.
The once sprawling maze work has been reduced to half an acre of land, as the Spanish government required the dismantling of much of Pejiula’s work to make way for a highway. Now in his seventies, Pejiula continues to build, calling the reduced labyrinth a work in progress.
