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 transformed into an urban park. It exemplifies Catalan Modernisme and Gaudí’s organic, nature‑inspired architecture, and is inscribed as part of the UNESCO “Works of Antoni Gaudí.” Key attractions include the mosaic‑decorated serpentine bench and elevated main terrace, the entrance stairway with the iconic mosaic salamander, the columned hypostyle hall beneath the terrace, winding viaducts and landscaped levels, and the Casa Museu Gaudí preserving Gaudí’s domestic workspace. The park’s monumental core is ticketed and subject to regulated visiting hours, while other areas remain open to the public; admission fees and concession categories apply. Accessibility is partial: there are accessible routes and facilities, but steep slopes, uneven surfaces and steps limit full access in some zones.
