Park Güell

Gaudí also designed a beautiful public park located at Monte Carmelo. Park Güell has a variety of gardens and gorgeous architectural elements, making it worthy of its title of World Heritage Site.

Park Güell reflects the architect’s naturalist period, in which Gaudí worked on perfecting his personal style by looking for inspiration in nature. In order to create Park Güell, Gaudí developed a series of innovative structural solutions that would later influence his work at Sagrada Família.

Gaudí actually lived in Park Güell for a number of years, from 1906 to 1925. Thirty eight years later, on the 28^th of September of 1963, his former residence was opened as a museum by the name of Casa Museu Gaudí, or as it is known in English Gaudí House-Museum.
