Viaduct at Parc Güell (Güell Park), Barcelona

In 1900 Güell commissioned his friend and protégé Antoni Gaudí with the development of the project. With the support from other architects including Josep M. Jujol and his disciple Francesc Berenguer, Gaudí worked on the garden village until 1914 when it was clear the project was a commercial failure: Güell failed to sell a single house. In 1918 the city of Barcelona acquired the property and in 1922 it opened to the public as a park.
