Park Guell

Park Güell is a garden complex with architectural elements designed and built by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí between 1900 and 1914. The Park is situated on the hill of El Carmel in the Gracia district of Barcelona. It was built for the Catalan industrialist Eusebi Güell after whom the Parc was named. Today, the Park is converted in a municipal garden. Its structure, the mosaics and chimneys make it an authentic symbol of Barcelona. The entrance to the Park is free although Gaudi's house inside the Park can be visited only for an entrance fee. The Park is declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
