Through a commission from Eusebi Guell to Antoni Gaudi, the area that would become Park Guell was designed to create a garden city. This was to be an ideal community blending rural and urban life. In 1900 it was started but construction halted in 1914 when Gaudi devoted his time to the Sagrada Familia. Only two of sixty homes were built but the grounds and common areas were completed. The city council turned it into a public park in 1922 and is visited by a multitude people each year.
Here are the grounds of the wonderful incompleteness of Park Guell.
