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.
