Park Guell Park Guell is Barcelona's most unique park, & is spread over some 20 hectares of its inner city. The project was commissioned by Eusebi Guell with the idea in mind that he wanted to construct a garden city for the rich of Barcelona, like that of central London. It was to combine open parkland, gardens, houses, & public institutions; but the project was never completed. Soon after Eusebi Guell's death the park was handed over for city use (1923). The park combines a number of architectural styles, with notable features including the Sala de las Cien Columnas (Hall of the Hundred Columns), Greek theatre, & Can Muntaner house (Gaudi's former residence & now a museum & school). Large viaducts were built to carry cars & pedestrians so as not to ruin the natural contours of the land. This together with the fact that much of the tile used in the parks mosaics was recycled from industrial ceramic waste means that Guell Park is a good example of an environmentally friendly development. As mentioned earlier Antoni Guell moved to the Can Muntaner property in the centre of the park & lived there until his death. When work on the park was halted it became his private garden. In 1969 it was declared a national monumnet, & has since been used as both a school & as a museum dedicated to Gaudi.   Barcelona Tourist Office Tel     +34 932 853 834 (Mon-Fri 9am-8pm & Sat 9am-2pm) More Barcelona Attractions; Barcelona City Zones Barcelona Historic Attractions Barcelona Museums Barcelona Parks Barcelona Modern-Other Attractions   Barcelona City Zones La Rambla (Barcelona's busiest street) Ciutat Vella (old city) Barri Gotic (Gothic quarter) L'Eixample (modernist architecture) La Barceloneta (old sailors quarter) Barri de Gracia Passeig de Gracia Barcelona Historic Attractions Sagrada Familia La Pedrera Palau Guell (Palace) Roman Barcelona Barcelona Cathedral Barcelona University Santa Maria del Mar Church Palau de la Musica Catalana Columbus Monument Port Vell Catalunya Square Reial Square Kings Square Sant Jaume Square Espanya Square Barcelona Museums Picasso Museum Gaudi Museum Barcelona History Museum Maritime Museum Miro Foundation (Fundacio Miro) Barbier-Mueller Museum of Pre-Colombian Art Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art Barcelona Parks Gardens Park Guell Park de la Ciutadella Park Laberint Park Palau Reial Barcelona Modern-Other Attractions Barcelona FC Olympic Barcelona Barcelona Water Parks Barcelona Theme parks   More Barcelona links: - Barcelona Spain Site Map Accommodation Barcelona FC Barcelona Beaches Barcelona History Barcelona Water Parks Barcelona Theme Parks Barcelona Aquarium Tibidabo Park Port Aventura Sagrada Familia FC Barcelona Barcelona Football Club Barcelona Hotels Spain Barcelona Cheap Hotels Barcelona Luxury Hotels Barcelona Aparthotels Hotels Barcelona Camp Nou F.C Barcelona Barcelona Soccer Barcelona City Zones Historic Attractions Barcelona Museums Barcelona Parks Modern Attractions Gaudi Gay Barcelona Barcelona Restaurants Picasso Museum La Rambla Barcelona Cathedral Gaudi Museum Olympic Barcelona Ciutat Vella (old city) Palau Guell (Palace) Roman Barcelona Gaudi Museum Barcelona University Barri Gotic -Gothic quarter Barcelona Ferries Barcelona Hotels Spain Barcelona Cheap Hotels Barcelona Luxury Hotels Barcelona Aparthotels Hotels Barcelona Park Guell, Guell Park, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
