Parc Güell
The Parc Guell in Barcelona is one of the most intriguing places to visit.
In 1900 Eusebi Guëll, a well known Catalan industrialist, commissioned his friend and protégé Antoni Gaudí with the development of the project.
With the support from other architects Gaudí worked on the garden village until 1914 when it was clear the project was a commercial failure: Guëll failed
to sell a single house. In 1918 the city acquired the property and in 1922 it was opened to the public as a park.
Parc Guëll was declared a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1984.
