Park Güell
Park Guell by Antonio Gaudi
Park Güell was commissioned by Eusebi Güell who wanted to create a stylish park for Barcelona aristocracy. The park contains amazing stone structures (see below), stunning tiling and fascinating buildings. You can see from this picture the Gaudí dragon fountain that is at the entrance to Güell park. This dragon is adorned in beautiful coloured tiling and there is something rather hypnotic and magical about it.

The building itself was constructed in the 1880s by Domenech I Montaner for the 1888 World’s Fair, although it was originally intended to be just a café and restaurant.
