PARK GUELL SERIE POCKET (FRANCES)

Promoted by the influential Barcelonan businessman Eusebi Güell, the park was originally devised as an exclusive garden city aimed at well-to-do high society families who wanted to get away from the busy city life and be closer to nature. Güell gave Gaudí free rein to design the site, in such a way that the architect was able to experiment with new construction techniques and incorporate references to Classical mythology, the history of Catalonia and the Christian religion.
