Inspired by the English garden city movement, Count Eusebi Güell, wanted to build an urbanisation on the Montaña Pelada (Bare Mountain). Assisted by Ribió, Berenguer and Jujol, the now famous architect Antoni Gaudi build the park between 1900 and 914. The original plan was to build more than 60 housed on the estate. However, only two housed were realised and as such the project was a failure. In 1922, the Barcelona City Council bought the property and converted the estate in a municipal garden known as: Park Güell.
