Parc+Güell

__**PARC GÜELL**__  Parc Güell is a big garden complex with architectural elements situated on the hill of "el Carmel" in the Gràcia district of Barcelona. The original plan for this park was a residencial area for rich people. In the residential area we can find a primar-y school, a market, parks... Only a couple of houses were a finally built, one of this houses was Gaudi's own house,now a museum. In 1984 the park was declared a World Heritage site.  Antoni Gaudi designed the park and built in the years 1900 to 1914.  Gaudi's unique style is evident in anything, no matter how small. There ondades ways, similar to rivers of lava, and walks covered with columns that have trees or forms of stalactites. Gaudi is said to be the first ecologist, he recycled many materials and he thought about the drought problem that we have in Spain. He solve this problem with water when he made a big water tank under place devoted to hold the week market. The curves of the serpent bench form a number of enclaves, creating a more social atmosphere. Gaudí incorporated many motives of Catalan nationalism, and elements from religious mysticism and ancient poetry, into the Park.
