On this site the gardens and residential areas are in harmony, an analogue of the "garden city" concept, which was fashionable at the beginning of the 20th century.
The construction of the Huesbi Guell was initiated by the architect, who chose the outskirts of Barcelona for the purpose. Gaudi, a talented architect who did not recognize monotony and straightforwardness, was invited. Gaudi diversified the architecture of the park, decorating it with a fantastic combination of colors and curves of lines, giving this object a sense of external harmony and naturalness.
