🔷Parc Güell🔷
Park Güell (Parc Güell in Catalan and Park Güell in its original name) is a public park with gardens and architectural elements located in the upper part of the city of Barcelona (Spain), in the foothills of the Collserola mountain range. The park is located on the southern slope of Mount Carmelo (La Salud neighborhood, in the Gracia district) and adjacent to the north slope where Carmelo Park is located (El Carmelo neighborhood, Horta-Guinardó district). Conceived as an urbanization, the park was designed by the architect Antoni Gaudí, the greatest exponent of Catalan modernism, commissioned by the businessman Eusebi Güell. Built between 1900 and 1914, it was inaugurated as a public park in 1926.
Park Güell is a reflection of Gaudí's artistic fullness: it belongs to his naturalistic stage (first decade of the 20th century), a period in which the architect perfected his personal style, through inspiration in the organic forms of nature, to which put into practice a whole series of new structural solutions originated in his in-depth analysis of ruled geometry. To this the Catalan artist adds great creative freedom and an imaginative ornamental creation: starting from a certain baroque style, his works acquire great structural richness, of forms and volumes devoid of rationalist rigidity or any classical premise. In Park Güell Gaudí displayed all his architectural genius and put into practice many of his innovative structural solutions that would be emblematic of his organicist style, culminating in the Sagrada Familia.
The park was conceived by Güell and Gaudí as a structured complex where, within an incomparable setting of natural beauty, high-standing homes would be located, with all the technological advances of the time to provide maximum comfort and with high-quality finishes. artistic quality. Likewise, they devised a set impregnated with a strong symbolism, since they tried to synthesize in the common elements of the park many of the ideals, both political and religious, shared by patron and architect: thus, concepts from political Catalanism are perceptible in the set - especially on the access staircase, where the Catalan countries are represented - and of the Catholic religion - in the monument to Calvary, originally designed as a chapel. The mythological element is also important: apparently, Güell and Gaudí were inspired by the temple of Apollo at Delphi for their conception of the park.
On the other hand, numerous experts have wanted to see in the park a series of references of varied sign, due to the complex iconography applied by Gaudí to the whole urban project, references that range from political claim to religious exaltation, passing through mythology , history or philosophy. In particular, many scholars pretend to see references to Freemasonry, a fact unlikely due to the deep religious beliefs of both Gaudí and Count Güell and, in any case, not proven by any objective evidence in the entire historiography of the modernist architect. The multiplicity of symbols developed in Park Güell is, as has been said, political and religious, in any case with a certain mystery character due to the taste of the time for enigmas and riddles.
The park is listed as a monument declared in the register of Cultural Assets of National Interest of the Catalan heritage and in the register of Assets of Cultural Interest of the Spanish heritage with the code RI-51-0003818. It is also part of the World Heritage Site declared by UNESCO as "Works of Antoni Gaudí" with the code 320-001, where it was inscribed in 1984 together with the Güell Palace and the Casa Milà.
