Spain - Barcelona, Park Güell
In the year of 1900 Gaudi started planning a residential complex for businessman and politician Eusebi Güell. However the lack of interest shown by the upper class of Barcelona for Güells’s and Gaudi’s project led to suspension of the work in 1914. On that moment only two houses of the sixty planned houses and the community areas were finished.
In 1922 the city council of Barcelona acquired the complex and transformed it into a public park. Unesco recognized the artistic value and declared it in 1984 a World heritage Site.
The large square, situated on top of the market place with its 96 impressive columns, was inaugurated in1909. It is outlined by a serpentine bench with a length of 110 metres. Most likely it is the longest work of art in the world. The long bench was one of the last works carried out in the park. Gaudi’s collaborator architect Josep Maria Jujol, used for the trencadís on the bench broken ceramics, tiles and bottles of all kinds of colours.
