A place of fantasy that is totally unique and extremely beautiful. Designed by the architect Antonio Gaudí, this is one of the most important works of modernism in the world. What was originally intended to be a residential development inspired by the English garden cities is today a vast public park and one of Barcelona's main attractions. What will you see? Curious shapes and bold colours combinations mixed with diverse vegetation. Its winding pathways will lead you through the park until you come to one of its best-known spaces, offering a spectacular view of the city: the square. It is surrounded by a curved bench covered with tiny pieces of coloured tiles. This technique by Gaudí can be seen throughout the park and is known as 'Trencadís'. Don't miss other unique places such as the Sala Hipóstila room with its 86 columns and the famous dragon made of coloured tiles.
