Park Guell

This park is located outside of the main city but well worth the metro ride. It was initially a commissioned project by Antoni Gaudi for Count Eusebi Guell. However, due to lack of financing and popularity, the project was stopped. Later the city of Barcelona bought it and it is now a public park (read: free for all to visit!).


Main terrace that overlooks Barcelona. The park grounds, which take up over 5 acres, continue behind me.

Circular columns that support the walkways were also made to facilitate bird nest building.

One of the fountains (mixing mosaic tiles, warped rocks and plants).
