Barcelona
Parc Güell (1900 - 1914) - A. Gaudi
Message on the back of the card from a Spanish PostCrosser:
This postcard is a deatil of the Parc Güell. It was designed by the architect Antoni Gaudi and constructed between the year 1900 and 1914 and inaugurated as a public park in 1926. In the design of the park there exist wavy forms, similar to the rivers, and walks covered with columns that have forms of trees. Many of the surfaces are covered with pieces of ceramics or of glass like mosaics of colours. For its location to the margin of the city and to a high altitude, this park breathe a tranquility that contrasts with the noise and frenzy of Barcelona.It both looks and sounds beautiful. It is, for once, somewhere I could visit without too much difficulty. I'd love to.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely architecture! I must go learn more about Gaudi.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card Sheila, have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteI loved visiting the park, and the unfinished cathedral also attributed to Guadi. Barcelona is a must visit in my opinion.
ReplyDelete@Marie, thanks, and yes, I've joined in.
ReplyDelete@Emm, it looks really beautiful, doesn't it.
@Jodi, thanks, and I hope you are recovering well.
@Mike, I will bear that in mind. It is somewhere we have considered from time to time but never actually made it.
