Park Güell is a garden complex with architectural elements designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí and built in the years 1900 to 1914. Roadways around the park to service the intended houses were designed by Gaudí as structures jutting out from the steep hillside or running on viaducts, with separate footpaths in arcades formed under these structures. This minimized the intrusion of the roads, and Gaudí designed them using local stone in a way that integrates them closely into the landscape. His structures echo natural forms, with columns like tree trunks supporting branching vaulting under the roadway.

Crazy guy, crazy buildings, great images though!! This is very good. I'm very jealous of that sky as it's done nothing but rain here.

The jury's out for me on Gaudi to be honest. I love the story of his life and admire his passion and dedication but his work often leaves me cold. Not to say that Parc Guell isn't terrifically impressive, and you certainly did it justice here.
