Park Güell
Spanish architectural prodigy Antoni Gaud co-designed Park Guell at first as a private residence. But the idea of the incredibly elite area was never implemented due to the expensive lots, the lack of a transportation system, and the complicated requirements for lot ownership. Gaud opted to make the entire land public instead in the late 1920s. It did not take long for it to become a popular tourist destination, and the few buildings that were erected there, like Gaud's beautifully constructed home, quickly garnered a reputation all over the world.
Antonio Gaudi infused a lot of Catalan nationalist symbols into this park, which was situated in the heart of a globally diverse city like Barcelona. His sculptures and mosaics are so intricately woven together with Spanish nature to create a park unlike any other in the world. It's like entering a fantasy world to wander among his exquisite masterpieces. The main square of the park's spectacular view of the entire city puts the icing on the experience.
An eclectic design and mosaic tiles are used to create this vibrant park. The modernist architect used his appreciation of mathematics and nature to produce a visual style that has since come to represent this renowned Spanish city
