Architectural masterpiece and innovative design

The park's architecture is characterised by a fascinating combination of natural forms, colourful mosaics and creative imagination. Gaudí was heavily inspired by nature and created organic structures that are in perfect harmony with their surroundings.

The famous ‘serpentine bench’ is an outstanding example of how Gaudí used curved lines and sweeping shapes to create seating that looks like waves.

The park's main staircase, designed by Gaudí, is decorated with colourful mosaics of ceramic pieces and leads to a large square guarded by a fabulous mosaic dragon. This iconic symbol of the park is a favourite photo motif for visitors.

The ‘House of the Guardian’, which was planned as the centre of the park, impresses with its whimsical towers and imaginative decorations. Although it was never completed, it reflects Gaudí's unique architectural style.

The architecture of Park Güell is a living testament to the creative genius of Antoni Gaudí and remains a highlight of modernist architecture in Barcelona, attracting millions of admirers from all over the world year after year.
