Park Guell
After the temple, guests of the city go to Park Guell, created by Gaudí at the beginning of the twentieth century. The main attraction of this green oasis is a bench curved in the manner of a sea serpent and decorated with collages of shards of glass and ceramics. The shape of the backrest follows the natural curves of the human spine, and therefore it is very convenient to sit on the bench and observe the visitors of the park.
The "Hall of a Hundred Columns" is open in the park, where concerts of local musicians are held. Gaudí achieved exceptional acoustics with a special layout and the presence of 86 Doric columns. The park also houses the architect's museum, where visitors can get acquainted with the habits and preferences of the master, see his personal belongings and books. The UNESCO organization included Park Guell, along with the rest of the works of the Spanish architect in the lists of World Cultural Heritage..
