Gaudi's Park Guell


Gaudi's Park Guell
Originally uploaded by Venkata.
The Parc Guell is another work of Antoni Gaudi­. This great park is a luxury villa, where houses for the richest families of the Barcelona bourgeoisie should have been built but a few years later, it became a public park. It was built at the beginning of the 20th century.

This snake shaped bench surrounds a round square from where there is a wonderful landscape view of Barcelona. The bench is made with small pieces of ceramics and it's very comfortable to sit and enjoy the sight on other curious onlookers, which is what is called as a good sitting(siteing place).
