About Park Güell
Park Güell began as a property venture. In 1900 the industrialist Eusebi Güell commissioned Antoni Gaudí to design a landscaped housing estate, inspired by the English garden city, on the slopes of the Carmel hill, then on the outskirts of Barcelona. Around sixty plots were laid out, but only two houses were ever built and work stopped in 1914. In 1926 the city council opened it as a public park.
What was completed were the shared spaces, today's Monumental Zone: the two entrance pavilions, the stairway with its famous trencadís salamander, the Hypostyle Room of Doric columns, intended as a market, and above it the great square ringed by the undulating bench, clad in broken tiles with the help of Josep Maria Jujol. The stone viaducts that climb through the woods imitate natural forms and follow the slope of the hill.
Gaudí lived in one of the two houses, now the Gaudí House Museum, from 1906 to 1925. The park is one of the works of Gaudí declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984, and from its upper paths you get one of the best views over the city and the sea.
