Casa-Museu Gaudí to display furniture and other personal objects that belonged to the architect as well the drawing plans for many of his projects. To reach it, mount the grand staircase facing the entrance to the park and veer up the trails to the right. The staircase is divided by a colorful lizard that spits drainage water from the upper levels of the park out its mouth. The steps lead to the Sala Hipóstila, a covered hall intended as the marketplace of the garden city.
Its roof is supported by 86 Doric columns, and it is also the base of the expansive plaza above it. The Placa de la Naturalesa offers one of the best views of the city and the Mediterranean and the coolest park bench in the world. The bright bench and balustrade was covered in trencadís (broken tile mosaics) by Gaudí’s friend J.M. Jujol; it winds around the perimeter of the elevated plaza creating perfect nooks and crannies for sitting.
Steps lead down to the canted arcade carved into the side of the hill, a favorite spot for pictures. Covered in earthen stones and mimicking the exposed roots of tree, it signifies Gaudí’s concept that the development should be a harmonious extension of nature.
