Description

The deed of purchase of plots in what is now Parc Güell, with a plan signed by Antoni Gaudí in 1902, is a fundamental document to understand the origin of one of the most unique urban planning projects in modern Catalonia. Promoted by Eusebi Güell, the project aimed to create a garden city inspired by English models, integrating nature, architecture and spirituality. The document reflects the visionary dimension of Gaudí and the will to transform Barcelona into a modern and European city. This plan is not only of technical value, but also symbolic, as a testament to the collaboration between art, engineering and urbanism.
