Guell Park (Guell Koen, Catalan: Park Güell , English: Park gallow ) Is a park in Barcelona, Spain, overlooking the city of Barcelona. It was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984. It is one of Antoni Gaudi’s works.

It was built between 1900 and 1914, created by the owner of Ezebi Guy (in Spanish reading) and Antoni Gaudi’s dreams. The most inclined art was Richard Wagner’s “Raku”, and Gaudi tried to create a comprehensive art for harmony under Count Guell, who has the same sense of art. Around this time, industrialization was rapidly progressing in Barcelona, and Gaudi and Guell tried to create a new residential area where people would naturally be surrounded by art. However, the ideas of the two people and the values of living in nature were not understood at the time. Eventually, infrastructure such as a square and roads was built and 60 houses were planned, but there were no buyers, and after all, only Gaudi himself and Count Guay were only sold. After the death of Count Guay, the construction was interrupted and donated as a city park. Currently, a house where Gaudi has lived temporarily has been released as the Gaudi Memorial Hall. Inside, furniture designed by Gaudi is also gathered and exhibited.
Salvador Dali commented on the hut and the arbor at the entrance of Guell Park, “It’s like a sugar -eyed tart confectionery.” Terrace named “Greek Theater” ^[first]The design using a pulverous tile, such as a popular lizard sitting on a large staircase, a circular mosaic decoration of the hall ceiling in the center of the site, has a great contribution to Gaudi’s assistant, Maria Jujol.
