Gaudi's Dragon

Antoni Gaudí's multicolored dragon found at the main entrance of Park Güell. Built between 1900 to 1914, it is part of the UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE "Works of Antoni Gaudí".

 

The park was originally part of a commercially unsuccessful housing site, the idea of Count Eusebi Güell, whom the park was named after. It was inspired by the English garden city movement; hence the original English name Park.
