The Hall of a Hundred Columns uploaded on 26 April 2008

The Hall of a Hundred Columns in Gaudi's Park Guell, in reality, holds only 84 columns. The giant mosaics on the ceiling were made by Jujol and reflect the influence of nature in Gaudi's designs.

Buenas de Espana uploaded on 26 April 2008

I sent this photo as a Christmas card to my family while I was studying in Spain. It is one of the few that actually has me in it. It's fitting since this is one of my favorite spots in all of Barcelona. Park Guell is one of Antonio Gaudi's many master pieces. The colorful mosaics and beautiful view draw thousands of visitors a year.

Palau Nacional uploaded on 26 April 2008

I took this shot from the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (National Art Museum of Catalonia) where you can see Font Magica and MontJuic which looks down on Barcelona. I came upon this site completely by accident and had no idea about the beautiful fountains there.
