Park Güell's historical, architectural and artistic uniqueness was recognised by the Spanish state in 1969, when it was declared a Monument of Cultural Interest.
In 1984, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco) went further, and declared it a World Heritage site. This distinction is awarded to all natural areas and cultural features in the world of great value, which must be protected in order to guarantee their conservation, so that future generations can continue to enjoy them.
This mission could not be carried out without a constant task of conservation, restoration and protection of this asset of cultural interes.
Sometimes these works can alter the visit in some way, however, they are essential to improve the condition and preservation of the park’s heritage.

Conservation of the tiles of the staircase
Cleaning and conservation work is currently in progress on the main staircase, tasks carried out roughly every 12 months with the mission of checking the state of the tiles and repairing any possible defects.
Such interventions are essential for the conservation of these features, which are part of our heritage. The work does not disrupt visits to the park, because visitors are able to enjoy the bench at all times, as well as the panoramic views of the city from there.
Start: January 2025 - End: May 2025
Interventions outside Park Güell
Works of redevelopment of Baixada de la Glòria and replacement of mechanical staircases
We would like to inform you that two of the three sections of the escalators in Baixada de la Gloria are now operational. They are the ones between Vallcarca Avenue and Mare de Déu del Coll Street, as well as Sostres Street and Coll del Portell Avenue.
The special feature of these escalators is that they automatically go uphill, but are reversible by a button and if they detect that there are no users, they tilt and start to change direction to downhill.
The third and last section of escalators will come into operation in the summer.
The alternative route we offer you to come to Park Güell is to go along:
Sorry for any inconvenience.
