Show NavigationViaduct, Park Guell, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
Viaduct, with roadway above and covered path below, supported by leaning columns of local stone, at Park Guell, built 1900-14 by Antoni Gaudi, 1852-1926, Catalan Modernist architect, on Carmel Hill, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The park was commissioned by Eusebi Guell and opened in 1926. The area was designed to hold public gardens, houses, paths and roads, irrigation systems and a terrace. Gaudi used organic forms in the structures of the park, incorporating symbols from Catalan nationalism, religious mysticism and ancient poetry and mythology. It is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
