Park Guell

Removed from Unnamed collection

Park Güell is a masterpiece by Gaudí, a breathtaking blend of nature and architecture. As soon as you step inside, you’ll feel like you’ve entered a whimsical world of color and creativity. Perched above the city, the park offers stunning panoramic views of Barcelona, making it a must-visit for anyone exploring this vibrant city.

Interestingly, Park Güell wasn't always meant to be a public park. Back in 1900, it was conceived as a housing project for the wealthy, set on a rugged hill surrounded by lush vegetation and a few upscale country homes. Although the residential plan didn't pan out, it led to one of Gaudí's most captivating creations.

The original idea was to capitalize on the sweeping views of Barcelona and the fresh, clean air far from the city's industrial hustle, to create an exclusive residential area. Today, Park Güell is a place where you can wander along winding paths, surrounded by lush greenery, and marvel at the intricate mosaics and architectural wonders that tie the entire space together. Don't miss the iconic salamander sculpture, known as "El Drac," which has become a symbol of the park. And if you’re interested in learning more about Gaudí’s vision, the park's museum offers fascinating insights into his life and work.
