Beautiful Gardens From Around The World (1)
Park Güell , Barcelona , Spain
Park
Güell was commissioned by Eusebi Güell who wanted to create a
stylish park for Barcelona aristocracy.The
park contains amazing stone structures (see below), stunning tiling
and fascinating buildings. You can see from this picture the Gaudí
dragon fountain that is at the entrance to Güell park. This dragon
is adorned in beautiful coloured tiling and there is something rather
hypnotic and magical about it.Here
you can see a walkway supported by twisting rock pillars that seem to
be growing out of the ground like tree trunks. Although these are
rather irregular in shape they do feel strangely natural too.Gaudí
was strongly influenced by natural shapes and used them in his work.At
the top of Güell park is a terraced area where you get a wonderful
view of the park and of Barcelona City. Here you will find
multi-coloured tiled mosaic seats as shown in this picture. The
vibrant colours of the tiles are truly breathtaking.
