Park Güell is perhaps Barcelona's most famous park - work of the architect Antoni Guadí - it's located in the hill of el Carmel near Grácia and it's easily accessible by metro or by bus.
Part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site the park is absolutely amazing and right from the entrance one is dazzled by the way its building's architecture merges with the nature that surrounds them.
Above a picture from the spectacular main entrance of the park. The stairways dominate the scenario and are filled with sculptures and fountains. Climbing them, will take you to the columns that support the central terrace, place where the views are also fantastic (I'll publish them in my next post).
Above in detail one the sculptures that's placed halfway in the stairways - one of the park's icons, made with a million of multicolored mosaics, Gaudí's dragon fountain.
