It is so spectacular it has been awarded UNESCO heritage site status for its display of work by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi.

While visitors to Barcelona will not be able to miss his work, which is evident at every turn in the city, Park Guell by far is the finest of his work in the 20th century. It was built over 14 years from 1900 and sports an amazing tiled staircase that envelops visitors, complete with fountains and shadowy alcoves and archways.

The Park was intended to be an upper class housing estate by Count Eusebi Guell, but there were no takers, apart from Gaudi, who lived in a house next to the only other show home from 1906 to 1926.

Visitors can pay to look around the house he called La Torre Rosa to this day, although he did not design the house itself, Gaudi drew up some of his ideas for the city here. It contains many items of furniture he designed.

The centerpiece of the park Gaudi designed is a colorful sea serpent, which lends itself to the stunning backdrop of trees, which house a population of green monk parakeets that have exploded in numbers since being released from captivity.
