Passing around Park Guell will reveal a fantastic collection of Gaudi creations especially the famous dragon a symbol of Barcelona.
The park was commissioned by Güell, as a place to be enjoyed by the Barcelona aristocracy. Now everyone can enjoy the park. The original intention was to create a housing complex, or "garden city", and you can see some of these houses throughout the park. The house in which Gaudi lived is in the park, and this is now a museum that visitors can look around. Close to this is the colorful dragon sculpture, that everyone who visits the park should have their photo taken next to as a souvenir. How to get there? Metro stop "Lesseps" (Green Line, L3) On leaving the metro follow the street signposts for the park

A typical mosaic style can be found all around the park. Gaudi's collaborator, the architect Josep Jujol, created much of the ceramic design by himself, adding his signature and religious phrases to the pieces that went into the park. This fact was recently discovered in 1964. The snake-like benches at the top of the park and the medallions on the ceiling of the Hall of a Hundred Columns are examples of his work. There is a fantastic view of the city from the main spot where the benches are, and the walkway to this place is supported by tree-like pillars that seems to grow out of the ground like trees. Those of you with an eye for detail will notice the use of recycled everyday objects used in the mosaic decoration along the way, such as teacups and plates. At the beginning of the XX century this kind of approach was something new in constructions, and was inspired by the economic practice of cladding buildings with waste tiles.
