Park Güell in Barcelona, Spain

Park Güell is this magical wonderland of whimsical architecture, complete with colorful mosaics, detailed tiles, and odd shapes. The same Antoni Gaudí of Sagrada Familia fame also designed this masterpiece, which served as a public park. Located atop a hill, the park boasts panoramic views of Barcelona. Construction started in 1900 and Gaudí himself resided in the schoolhouse on premises for a time. It was a gathering center for the commuity. There are two sections to the park: paid admission leads to the delightful colorful buildings and gardens while the surrounding nature park is free. Don't forget to make your way to Turó de les Tres Creus, located a short hike away from the monument park.
