A cute little house at the main entrance of Park Güell, in which you will find background information about the park.
My Rating:
The positives:
A cute little house near the Park Güell main entrance. Included to the Admission of Park Güell.
The negatives:
There’s not exactly a whole lot to see apart from a few films on the park’s history.

As part of the Park Güell plans, Gaudí also considered some of the more practical aspects. The entrance to the garden city would, of course, has to be guarded, and any guard would need a house to live in, too. As a result, Gaudí designed this neat little house near the entrance. The Casa del Guarda was built between 1901 and 1903 and represents the two principles of simplicity and utility.
Nowadays, the Casa del Guarda is used as a museum, offering background information on the Park Güell. A presentation on Gaudí’s and Güell’s lives lets you get to know the main protagonists of the project. Films and photographs show the park’s creation from 1895 to 1914.
