Park Güell originated in 1900s when Count Eusebi Güell purchased a tree-covered hillside and hired Gaudí to create a miniature city to house the wealthy in dazzling landscaped grounds. A commercial failure, the project was abandoned in 1914. By then, Gaudí had already created 3km of roads and walks, steps, a plaza and two gatehouses. In 1922, the city bought the estate for use as a public park.
Park Güell is a public park situated in Barcelona, Spain which was designed by Antoni Gaudi, the renowned architect. The park is famed for its one-of-a-kind and vibrant mosaic structures and provides stunning views of the city.
Spring is a great time to visit these lush, colourful grounds. Spain’s peak tourist time of summer is not yet realised, so enjoy a bit of quiet time in one of Gaudi’s most beautiful masterpieces.
