Disruptions to visits

Afectacions de la visita

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.

Recovery balustrade

Nature Square: recovery of the modernist balustrade

In November 2021, an important project got underway in the upper part of Nature Square's esplanade: the reproduction of the modernist balustrade that delimits a path and crowns all the stone palms. It is possible to reproduce the balustrade thanks to the old photographs of the park conserved by the Heritage department.

With the passage of time, the balustrade has suffered changes and deterioration. Some years ago, it was decided to renovate it, although work was later halted. 

The lack of documentation on how it was built has created a lot of uncertainty, making its construction a matter of guesswork, trial and error.

The foundations have now been laid for two palms (two cup structures simulating those of palm trees) and some trials are under way for the vertical branches which support the handrail. Towards the end of October of November, these branches will be finished and clad with stone. The central bars and handrail will also be finished. The idea is to continue reconstructing these cup structures the same way, two at a time.

The date of completion is, at present, uncertain. It is necessary to finish both cups completely and then calculate the time needed for the entire balustrade.

This work started in September 2021 and is still in progress.

Start: November 2021 - End: -
