Gaudí's residential town.
It was conceived as a residential town, although the houses were never built and it ended up as a public park.

Tiled bench in Güell Park, by Gaudí
It is considered to be one of the most important works of art nouveau in the world. It is based on the English garden towns and was built on the Montaña Pelada, a concave terrain shaped like an amphitheatre, with views of Barcelona and the sea. Only one building was completed: the Casa Rosada, built by one of Gaudí's collaborators.
