Agenda 500

The Park Güell is offering guided tours in different languages so that visitors can get a first-hand insight into the history and symbolism of one of Antoni Gaudí’s most complete works.

Accompanied by an expert guide, the tour is a chance to delve into the Barcelona of the end of the 19th century, discovering the secrets of Gaudí’s architecture, its perfect harmony with nature and sustainability. Now over a century old, the park was commissioned to Gaudí by Eusebi Güell with the intention of building a garden city for well-to-do families.

The project gave way to a huge private garden, which Güell offered for public acts, while the first tourist guides began to feature it as an attraction in Barcelona. Eusebi Güell’s heirs offered the park to the City Council in 1926 and it was opened as a municipal park.

The park was recognised as an artistic monument in 1969 and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984.

The one-hour visit takes in the most iconic points around the Park Güell, reliving history, connecting with the values of modernsime, Gaudí’s work and the park as a leading urban modernisme site.
