Park Güell, originally uploaded by Peanut99.
”Park Güell is a garden complex with architectural elements situated on the hill of el Carmel in the Gràcia district of Barcelona, Spain. It was designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí and built in the years 1900 to 1914. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Works of Antoni Gaudí”.
The park was originally part of a commercially unsuccessful housing site, the idea of Count Eusebi de Güell, whom the park was named after. It was inspired by the English garden city movement, hence the original English name Park. It has since been converted into a municipal garden. It can be reached by underground railway (although the stations are at a distance from the Park), or by regular buses, or by commercial tourist buses. While entrance to the Park is free, Gaudí’s house — containing furniture that he designed — can be only visited for an entrance fee.” from wikipedia

Park Guell, Barcelona “Gaudi Eye Candy”, originally uploaded by “M” Pearl.
The beautifully designed building in Park Guell. A hot day in Barcelona, Spain in September. Filling my heart with colour, design, architectural sights, imagining the difficulty of building in the era of the late 1800’s to early 1900’s. A memorable day.

Gleaming in the Sun, this brightly colour iguana was exquisite to the touch. The colourful broken tile pieces put together so artistically - a masterpiece.
Who was Gaudi?
first portrait of Gaudi published in Spain - gaudiclub.com
Antonio Gaudi was “born in 1852 in Reus (Camp de Tarragona) and son of a copper maker from Riudoms, from childhood Gaudí was an attentive observer of nature and felt attracted to its forms, colours and geometry. In 1868, he decided to study architecture in Barcelona, in a college dominated by neo-classical and romantic trends. Thus, his first architectural pruduction swung between a reinterpretation of historical canons with oriental influence and the recovery of medieval events.
Despite his youth he received the first assignments from the ecclesiastic world and the bourgeoisie, who would always be his main clients. Among these, the Association of Devotees of Saint Joseph stands out as they commissioned him with the Expiatory Temple of the Sagrada Família (the cathedral of the modern Barcelona). Of equal importance was the industrialist Eusebi Güell, the best client and essential patron, who entrusted him with the construction of a palace, the curch for an industrial colony, some pavilions for his summer residence and a city-garden.
After his death in 1926, he and his work entered a period of ostracismm until the avant-gardist trends and the international movement recuperated his figure while presenting him as an example of modernisation and renewal of 20th century architecture.” excerpt from gaudi 2002

Antoni Gaudí 1904-1906
This is one of the most charismatic examples of Modernist art in the Eixample district. The architect Antoni Gaudí personally designed the whole building, from the astonishing façade to the interior decoration, including the furnishings. The front of the building is covered in mosaic tiles and the roofing is made of ceramic tiles.
