Other Gaudí Masterpieces

Park Guell – built between 1900-1914 as a private community of luxurious homes. It failed and was opened as a public park in 1926.

Stepping into a fairy tale—The Gingerbread Houses at the entrance to the park. One served as a guard house and the other, an administrative office.

Intended for use as a marketplace, Hypostyle Hall (Hall of a Hundred Columns) features 86 Greek-inspired columns.

Meet El Drac, the park’s famous lizard. He’s located on La Escalinata monument (grand staircase) and made from broken shards of mosaic tiles, a trademark technique that Gaudí pioneered.

Next we visited Casa Battlo, also known as House of Bones.
Gaudí was responsible for the remodel 1904-1906 of a previously built house. It is located on Passeig De Gracia, a very prestigious area of Barcelona during the 20th century.
