About
Quick facts: Colorful mosaics and undulating benches attract the eye, and from the main terrace, a panorama combines urban architecture with greenery. Walking along winding paths uncovers hidden colonnades and mosaic details made from thousands of ceramic pieces, often shaped like sea creatures.
Highlights: Antoni Gaudí's project was carried out between 1900 and 1914, resulting in the mosaic sculpture called El Drac and a large hall supported by 86 columns that resemble stone trunks beneath the terrace. The shine of thousands of trencadís pieces glimmers in the sun and tickles the eyes, and the wavy bench about 110 meters long forms an ergonomic backrest and hides Gaudí’s water drainage systems.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes for walking on uneven paths and plenty of stairs.
- Catch the morning light on the main terrace for the best photos of mosaic benches.
- Avoid weekends if possible to escape the busiest times.
- Bring water and a sun hat during warmer months as shade is limited.
