Park Güell

Park Güell was so freakin cool.  I walked here which was quite the workout, up those steep hills, but well worth it.  The views were amazing, the mosaic details, the park and landscaping is out of this world. 

 
Park Guell is one of the most impressive public parks in the world. The park was designed by architect Antonio Gaudi, the idea coming from Eusebi Güell.


Gaudi planned and directed the construction of the park from 1900 to 1914 for Güell to be a residential park intended for sixty single- family residences.




The project, however, was unsuccessful and the park became city property in 1923. Though never fully completed, it still remains one of Gaudi's most colorful and playful works.
