Here are some additional photos of our visit to Parc Güell.
From the metro station we took some narrow side streets to the park, including this very steep one.There is a large natural park behind the terrace. Gaudi wanted to preserve a lot of wilderness in the original plans for Güell’s ambitious project.The Porter’s Lodge, now a gift shopThe Warden’s House, originally meant to house officesCeiling mozaic above the lower terraceJanis, Chris and Sheila sitting at the top of the staircase entrance to the park.Underneath one of the viaducts.
