Park Guell. Garden terrace. UNESCO World Heritage Site Works of Antoni Gaudi.
Park Güell (Catalan: Parc Güell [ˈparɡ ˈɡweʎ]) is a garden complex with architectural elements situated on the hill of El Carmel in the Gràcia district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It was designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí and built in the years 1900 to 1914. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Works of Antoni Gaudi.
Park Guell is one of the most impressive public parks in the world.
It's a playground for the mind: visual jokes, like columns that simulate palm-tree trunks, rubble-surfaced arches that grow out of the ground, quilts of ceramic tiles.
A graceful gazebo is made of twisted angle iron - cheap to make, looks good, does not lie about its material yet its shape is as softly curved as climbing vines.
The centrepiece is the intended covered market, a majestic forest of fluted columns. Its roof forms a vast terrace with a view of the city.
