Eusebi Guell and Antoni Gaudi planned this urban park on 15 hectares on top of a hill on the outskirts of Barcelona between 1900 and 1914.  It was based on  English ideas of estate houses. It was originally planned as a private estate of 60 dwellings finished with ornamental paths, recreational areas, decorative monuments and even viaducts. But only 2 houses were ever built besides the two porters lodges at the entrance gate. It was donated to the city as a public park in 1922.
