Place to see: Parc Guell, Barcelona, Spain

Gaudi's Parc Guell

Gaudi's Parc Guell

Originally part of an unsucessful commercial housing site, this peaceful park has since been converted to a municipal garden. Overlooking the serpent-like mosaic bench is one of the two main buildings at the park's entrance.

About this place:

Parc Güell is one of Gaudì's sanctuaries in the city of Barcelona. It shows the genius of the architect/artist on mixing nature and architecture. Absolutely a spot to visit, possibly not during weekends (too many tourists) and on a sunny day: the view from the overlook balcony is absolutely amazing.
