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.
Interventions inside Park Güell
Improvement works on the drainage, sanitation and irrigation system at Park Güell
Due to improvement works on the drainage, sanitation and irrigation systems, some areas of Park Güell will be temporarily affected.
As a result of this intervention (phase 1), access to the Lower Viaduct will be restricted from 6:00 to 8:15 a.m. Circulation will be affected in the central children’s area, with restricted access. The children’s play and leisure areas of Olot will remain open during Park opening hours.
Regarding mobility, access through the upper area of the Lower Viaduct will remain open, with the ramp operational, until a specific intervention begins in this area.
The works will last 18 months. The completion of this first phase is scheduled for June. We will keep you informed. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
