Park Güell in Barcelona is a public park conceived by industrialist Eusebi Güell and designed by architect Antoni Gaudí between 1900 and 1914 as an ambitious garden‑city project later converted into an urban park. It exemplifies Catalan Modernisme and Gaudí’s organic, nature‑inspired architecture, and is included among the UNESCO “Works of Antoni Gaudí.” Principal attractions comprise the mosaic‑covered serpentine bench and elevated main terrace, the entrance staircase with the famed mosaic salamander, the columned hypostyle hall beneath the terrace, sinuous viaducts and terraced landscaping, and the Casa Museu Gaudí preserving his domestic workspace. The park’s monumental core is ticketed with regulated visiting hours, while surrounding sections remain publicly accessible; admission fees and concession categories apply. Accessibility is partial: some accessible routes and facilities exist, but steep gradients, uneven paving and steps restrict full access in certain areas.
