Antoni Gaudí1900-1904
This is the largest of Gaudí's works in Barcelona. It covers an area of 20 hectares, which was originally to have been an English-style garden city, hence its originally being called a park. For this project, Gaudí was helped by the architect Josep Maria Jujol. Parc Güell also contains examples of unusually forceful design work; the two pavilions, joined by a stone wall, which stand at either side of the main entrance on carrer Olot; the stairway at the entrance to the park; the hypostyle hall with 96 columns that support the great square with a sinuous bench running round its edge, providing us with a platform that looks out over Barcelona; and the infrastructure of viaducts, containment walls, walkways and other singular elements.
