6/50.- Barcelona, Parc Güell - Bench

The 'Parc Güell' is another work of Antoni Gaudí. This great park should have been a luxury villa, where houses for the richest families of the Barcelona bourgeoisie should have been built, but the sale of the houses was not as successful as expected and, a few years later, it became a public park. It was built at the beginning of the 20th century.

This snake shaped bench surrounds a round square [click on the picture for the virtual picture !] from where there is a wonderful landscape view of Barcelona. The bench is made with small pieces of ceramics and it's very comfortable.
