Never quite enough Gaudi for me though I think the Turk wanted to see a straight line somewhere on the horizon. After years of friendship and projects, in 1900 Eusebi Guell hired Gaudi to build the park - Park Guell on a hillside with views to the ocean. The intention of this hillside was as an estate where wealthy families could build homes. The challenging building requirements, lack of transportation limited development to 2 homes. The area became a public park and today is a UNESCO site.
