Park Guell

Park Guell, commissioned in 1900 by Antonio Gaudi's lifelong patron Eusebio Guell, was the architect's unique venture into urban design. It was built from 1900 to 1914 as an aristocratic city-garden with single-family residences.First conceived as a private, it became a public park in 1922.The 'garden city' included 60 potential building sites and an assortment of park structures that conformed to the topography of the Barcelona hillside.
