Highlights include:
- The dragon fountain and monumental staircase, lined with vibrant mosaics.
- The Hypostyle Room, with 86 tilted columns designed to resemble a forest.
- The serpentine bench terrace, offering one of the best views of Barcelona.
- The playful use of trencadís, Gaudí’s recycled-ceramic mosaic technique.
For architecture enthusiasts, Park Güell is an open-air textbook on form, structure, and sustainability.
