The Park Güell is named after Gaudí's great patron, Count Eusebi Güell.
Although initially planned as a residential garden city in the English style (hence the name "Park"), the initiative was unsuccessful and only one showhouse was built, like the one which was Gaudí's home and today houses the museum devoted to the architect.
Finally, Güell donated the park to the Municipal Council in 1923 and since then it has belonged to the municipality and been a unique public park enjoying a prime location. Nowhere else so successfully integrates Gaudí's work into nature: his main source of inspiration.
