]]>This park was originally supposed to be a housing community for the rich commissioned by Eusebi Güell. Gaudí modeled the park after gardens that he saw in England, building around the natural elements of the land. Instead of benches, there’s one long, wavy stone bench that has mosaics, and the welcome centers look like buildings that came out of Dr. Seuss books.
Out of all of Gaudí’s apartments in the city, Casa Batlló is the most recognized and it’s known for its bright colors, skeletal terraces, and intricate tile work. The facade is inspired by the legend of St. George, who was famous for slaying a dragon to save the princess.
From 1882 until his death in 1926, Gaudí was devoted to constructing the La Sagrada Família (Church of the Sacred Family), a Gothic-style church with a twist. The church, which is still under construction, is one of his most recognized works. There are Catholic elements present throughout the architecture like the four towers that represent the 12 apostles and the carved facades at the base that show the life of Christ.

]]>Park Güell shows Gaudí at the heights of his success, and it’s the most experimental building he ever designed. It exudes joy thanks to its mixture of different shapes, colors and styles, and we promise you’ll see something extraordinary on every turn once you decide to pay it a visit.
After seeing countless of Gaudí’s designs throughout Barcelona, it’s only fitting to visit a museum dedicated to this artist – and it just happens to be located on the grounds of Park Güell.
Even if you prefer some of the other buildings in Barcelona designed by Gaudí, you must admit that Park Güell has more beautiful natural surroundings. It’s home to countless Mediterranean trees, several species of birds, and it offers the most amazing views of the city.
