Guell Park
Guell Park
Barcelona’s famous architectural son, Antonio Gaudi, left
his mark on the city nowhere more prominently than in the gardens
of the Parc Guell. The park, sited on Camel Hill offering splendid
views of the city, was originally planned to be a garden city
suburb, but only two houses were completed before it was turned
into a public recreational park. The gardens are festooned with
examples of his work, including flights of stairs, columns and a
plaza decorated with mosaics. The pink fairytale house standing at
the entrance to the park was once home to Gaudi and his niece, but
is now a museum containing some Gaudi-designed furniture,
décor, drawings and portraits of the architect.
