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.

Access to the stairs connecting the lower and upper parts of the Middle Viaduct has been closed to carry out repairs and remove the existing drainage channel. A fixed barrier will be placed, and visitors can use the side paths and shortcuts to reach Casa Trias and the upper area of the park.
