Some of the renowned parks in Spain are briefly explained here:

Guell Park:

When we speak of parks, the first name which comes out is Guell Park. This park is the brain child of the genius architect of Spain Antanio Gaudi. There is an old adage ‘where there is a will, there is a way’ and Gaudi proved it. It was actually a place identified for a housing colony. The rocky area was converted to a park because the proposed housing colony failed to make a start. This beautiful park has been declared as a world heritage site by UNESCO. There are critics who call this park an ‘Outrageous modernism’. There are some who praise it because Gaudi has successfully redefined the concept of a ‘park’. It has beautiful works of sculpture by some of the renowned artists.

De la Ciudadella Park:

This is again a brain child of Antano Gaudi in the Barri Gotic region of Spain. This park has a great history. Actually it was a fortress built by King Felipe V in the year 1715. The fortress was built in the shape of a Star. Later Napoleon used it as a prison. Later in the year 1878, it was General Prim who completely destroyed the Citadel and in its place a statue of Genera Prim was installed. Later it was converted into a park by the Spanish Government. This huge park is considered as one of the best parks of Spain. It also has some monuments which are of historic importance.

There is also a museum inside the park. The park has a big lake and one can hire a boat. The garden section of the park has varieties of plants which are of interest for every visitor to the park. Universal exhibition was held in the year 1888 in this park. For purpose of the exhibition, many buildings were constructed. The interesting feature of this park is that the government of Spain has preserved all the historic buildings that were constructed in this park. This park has been appreciated by all the people. Most of the buildings in this park are in typical Spanish architecture. The park has many works of sculpture.
