The Impressive Park Guell in Barcelona

Visiting Barcelona

There is no other perfect destination for a holiday than Barcelona, especially if you like diversity. Barcelona is that Spanish city that has something to offer for any type of tourist: a little bit of culture, a little bit of art, a lot of architecture, some history, an active nightlife, customs and traditions. How can one not fall in love with it? I am sure that you will also fall in love with it as long as you decide to spend some time over there and choose it as one of your favourite holiday destinations. Barcelona has a huge number of attractions but it is most popular for Antoni Gaudi’s architecture. Every tourist who visits Barcelona is charmed by the genius of Antoni Gaudi where architecture is concerned: La Sagrada Familia, Casa Mila and Park Guell represent just a few of the outstanding works of the famous architect.

The beautiful Park Guell

Park Guell is one of the most beautiful parks you have ever seen; it is the work of the great Antoni Gaudi, who built it in a modernist style. The park was built by the order of Count Guell, who wanted a complex of 60 houses designated to middle class families; the houses were supposed to represent the most pure English style but not of any type of houses: they were meant to represent the country houses which were the most popular ones at that time. When you first enter the park, it is impossible not to see the double staircase which has become a sort of iconic representation of the park; the other piece of resistance of the park is represented by the room which was designed to be the central market of the complex: the Doric Pillars are absolutely breathtaking. The large terrace that stands on top is an amazing place from where tourists can enjoy the spectacular views of the city.

While visiting the park you will realize the fact that there is something characteristic to all the elements of the park: they all include nature in one way or another. The reason why the works of Antoni Gaudi include forms such as birds or animals is that he loved nature as a child and he wanted to represent and express his love through his works. If you ever decide to visit Barcelona, make sure that you do not miss visiting the spectacular Park Guell because it really deserves your attention.
