Description
Park Güell is a public park located in the Gràcia district of Barcelona, designed by the renowned architect Antoni Gaudí. It was originally conceived as a residential project but was transformed into a public park after being largely uncompleted. The park showcases Gaudí's unique architectural style, characterized by vibrant colors, organic shapes, and intricate mosaics.
The park was commissioned by Eusebi Güell, a wealthy industrialist and a patron of Gaudí. Construction began in 1900 and continued until 1914, with the park being opened to the public in 1926. One of its most notable features is the famous serpentine bench that winds around the main terrace, offering stunning views of the city.
In 1984, Park Güell was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site as part of Gaudí's work. Today, it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Barcelona, drawing millions of visitors each year who come to admire its whimsical architecture and lush gardens.
