parc guell barcelona Parc Guell was commissioned by Eusebi Güell as a park to be enjoyed by the aristocracy of Barcelona. It is one of Antoni Gaudi´s masterpieces and was constructed between 1910 and 1914. It is a beautiful example of Gaudi´s inspirational architecture combining nature and art through form, line, ceramic and glass work. Designated a World Heritage site by UNESCO, the Parc Guell is a popular attraction for locals and tourists in Barcelona alike. Expect to be amazed (especially in good weather) by the light capturing sculptures, cavernous halls, and incredible stair cases mingled into a garden setting.
