El Park Güell es va formar per la unió de dues finques, Can Muntaner de Dalt i Can Coll i Pujol, en la anomenada Muntanya Pelada (avui dia Turó del Carmel), adquirides pel comte Güell l’any 1899. Es tractava d'un terreny format per estrats de pissarra i pedra calcària.
Gaudí ho va concebre amb un sentit religiós alhora que orgànic i urbanístic, ja que va aprofitar el desnivell de 60 metres que té la muntanya (l'altura oscil·la entre 150 i 210 metres respecte el mar) per projectar un camí d'elevació espiritual, va situar al seu cim una capella, que finalment no es va construir, al lloc que actualment ocupa el monument al Calvari (o Turó de les Tres Creus).
Junt amb Gaudí van treballar alguns dels seus col·laboradors més habituals, com Josep Maria Jujol , Francesc Berenguer , Joan Rubió i Llorenç Matamala. Les obres van córrer a càrrec del contractista Josep Pardo i Casanovas.
(CAST) El Park Güell se formó con la unión de dos fincas, Can Muntaner de Dalt y Can Coll i Pujol, en la llamada Montaña Pelada (hoy día Colina del Carmel), adquiridas por el conde Güell el año 1899. Se trataba de un terreno formado por estratos de pizarra y piedra calcárea.
Gaudí lo concibió con un sentido religioso al mismo tiempo que orgánico y urbanístico, ya que aprovechó el desnivel de 60 metros que tiene la montaña (la altura oscila entre 150 y 210 metros respecto del mar) para proyectar un camino de elevación espiritual, situando en su cima una capilla, que finalmente no se construyó, en el lugar que actualmente ocupa el monumento al Calvario (o Colina de las Tres Cruces).
Junto con Gaudí trabajaron algunos de sus colaboradores más habituales, como Josep Maria Jujol, Francesc Berenguer, Joan Rubió y Llorenç Matamala. Las obras corrieron a cargo del contratista a Josep Pardo i Casanovas.
(ENG) The Park Guell was formed with the joining of two areas "Can Muntaner de Dalt" and "Can Coll i Pujol", in the "Muntanya Pelada" (today muntanya del Caramel), purchased by Count Güell the year 1899.
Gaudi conceived as a religious sense at the same time as organic and urban, and using the 60 meters of gap which has the mountain (the height ranges between 150 and 210 meters respect the sea) to project a path of spiritual elevation, placing in its top a chapel, but it was never built, in place that currently holds the monument to Calvary (or Turó de les tres creus).
With Gaudi worked some of his more common colleagues, Josep Maria Jujol, Francesc Berenguer, Joan Rubió and Llorenç Matamala. The works were made by contractor Josep Casanovas i Pardo.
Getting these three in a photo, all of them looking kinda normal at the same time... not gonna happen. Notice how they didn't even turn to face the camera. Haha, love them though ;)
After napping in a completely dark room for an hour or so and a cold shower, I headed back to my next ticketed attraction, Parc Guell. This is a large meandering park with features designed by Antonio Gaudi, the great Spanish architect who also designed Sagrada Familia. It was supposed to be a housing development, but it never took off, and Guell, the developer, eventually gave it all to the city of Barcelona.
It was in the mid-90s this day, I had already had a strenuous experience at Sagrada Familia, so you can imagine my dismay when I turned the corner and saw that I would have to ascend a mountain to get to this park.
But as you can see from a few of these pictures, the place is full of unusual details! I think I would have appreciated it more if it hadn't been so very very hot.
