What you will hear
The Guard's House (Casa del Guarda)
The gateway to Gaudí’s dream, these gingerbread-style pavilions were inspired by the opera 'Hänsel and Gretel'.
The Park's Mosaic Logos
Two mosaic medallions on the wall reveal the English inspiration behind this gated community and the commercial history of the site.
The Dragon Staircase (El Drac)
The most famous resident of the park, this mosaic salamander guards the entrance to the market hall.
Dragon
Meet the park's most famous resident, a colorful creature that served a functional role in the estate's water management system.
Hypostyle Room (Sala Hipòstila)
Designed as a marketplace for the residents, this forest of 86 Doric columns supports the great square above.
Ceiling of the Market Hall
Look up at the undulating ceiling to see how a white mosaic coating helps illuminate the hall while accommodating wider spaces for market stalls.
Portico of the Washerwoman
A masterclass in organic architecture, this slanting portico mimics a natural cave or a wave.
The Washerwoman Statue
Look closely at the pillars to find a carved figure of a humble worker, a departure from the typical grand statues of public parks.
Gaudí House Museum (Casa Museu Gaudí)
The architect's home for 20 years, containing furniture he designed for his most famous buildings.
The Ergonomic Oak Bench
This wooden bench proves that comfort can be achieved through clever geometry rather than soft upholstery.
