Colourful Photography: Park Guell, one of the most beautiful places in Barcelona

in colourfulphotography •  7 years ago 

Hi Steemmates!

When it comes to colorful architecture, few cities can compete with Barcelona, the capital city of Catalonia, Spain.

Designed by the renowned Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi, the Park Guell is easily one of the most beautiful and colorful places I have seen in any city so far.

Located on the Carmell Hill, the park is a unique mixture of nature and extraordinary architectural elements, creating a spectacular site.

Open to public since 1926, the Park Guell was proclaimed a World Heritage Site in 1984.

I took these photos in April, 2016. This is also my entry for today´s #colourfulphotography contest organized by @juliank and @photocontests.


Czech / Česky: Dnes jsem si do #colourfulphotography připravil fotky z Parku Guell, jednoho z nejznámějších a nejnavštěvovanějších míst Barcelony. Tento park je jedinečnou kombinací přírodních prvků a úžasné, barevné architektury, za kterou stojí nejslavnější katalánský architekt všech dob Antoni Gaudí (autor většiny slavných barcelonských staveb, včetně ikonické katedrály Sagrada Familia). Za mě rozhodně jeden z nejhezčích parků, jaké jsem kdy viděl. A když si přivstanete, vyhnete se davům turistů a ještě máte vstup zdarma ;)

Yeah :) I am sure you have visited this amazing city (maybe even several times) but did you see my post about the Trakai Castle from two days ago? Did we finally find the place that Donica the World Traveler hasnt been to yet? :D ;)

Sadly I've been to Trakai too, but only here and the capital in Lithuania. ;) I found this country a hidden gem - I have to go back one day to explore more places.

I love Barcelona. It Is A Great City

It is! ;)

The only thing that spoiled Park Guell for me @phortun was the mass of heaving crowds getting in the way of my photographs! 😁

It is a wonderful place though, s is much of Barcelona. I have very happy memories of a long weekend spent there with my son when he was 10 or 11.

Thanks for the memories! 😍

Haha I know exactly what you mean, the park got very crowded later but when we arrived there (around 8:30 am) it was empty and we could take tons of great shots :) Oh yeah, Barcelona is sweet! Thanks for stopping by Gillian :)

Wow! That's very colorful and different architecture! :).. I have never been to Barcelona and I haven't heard about this place!

Barcelona is beautiful my friend, I am sure you will make there too soon or later ;) PS: of course I visited Camp Nou as well! :D

If I ever visit Barcelona, Camp Nou is a must! Of course! :)

I have a thing for vivid and colourfull photos and yours are just that 😉!!
Magnificent Petr 😀! !!

Thanks Alina! We love colorful things and places too :)

Wao, este parque debe ser fascinante, me encanta la arquitectura que usa muchos colores, o más bien, todo lo que tiene muchos colores, pero bien distribuidos y que hacen un concepto artístico espectacular.
Debe ser estupendo estar en este parque, me ha gustado mucho la primera toma.
Que hermosa.
Saludos @phortun, muy bonita esta entrada para el concurso.

Gracias Rosi! :)

That's some nice architecture right there. Are there many visitors there ? Colorful places are really good for pictures, there is no doubt that you had an amazing time when you visited there. You probably have visited Camp Nou (FC Barcelona stadium ) as well.Would be cool if you make a post about it :P

Thank you for contributing to the Steemit Community.Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to your next posts.

I did visit Camp Nou too! Might write a post about it later, thanks for your interest :)

Tyhle stavby jsem viděl na fotkách už před deseti lety, ale nevěděl jsem odkud jsou. Díky za info ;-)

Tak už víš :) Rádo se stalo ;)

very nice

Thank you :)

I am starting to think.. you have been everywhere 😎

Haha, I am a far cry from that :)) There are tons of more-travelled people here on Steemit ;) But thanks for the comment.

Looks like an amazing Park. Many friends have told me how much they've enjoyed Barcelona. I'll have to get there one day. Thanks for posting.

I can only agree, it is a great place to visit.

A brilliant city :)

I lived in Barcelona for a decade, I moved out four years ago, I miss its corners :). I'm based now in the North of Spain, it´s nice too, very mossy.
