PARK GÜELL, SPAIN
Visitors to Barcelona can enjoy some of the surreal
works created by architectural genius Antoni Gaudí
at Park Güell. Covering almost 50 acres, the park
was built between 1900 and 1914 and declared a
UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984. Many of the
attractions in the park were originally designed
for aristocrats to enjoy, but today the otherworldly
creations, such as the multi-coloured tiled mosaic
dragon fountain at the entrance, are accessible for
all to experience. Visitors will also be treated to great
views of the city below.
