Day 2 – Park Güell
Park Güell is yet another of Gaudi’s masterpieces which was created for the entrepreneur Eusebi Güell. The site is situated on several different levels. A number of houses were built on the site and were sold on contracts of a lifetime leasehold. On Eusebi Güell’s death, it was purchased by the City Council and opened as a municipal park in 1926.
