In 1900, the famous Spanish and Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi was commissioned to design a project on the plot of land that is now Parc Güell. 1922, the Barcelona Municipal Court purchased it and made it into a public park.
If you have seen any movie that has filmed scenes in Barcelona, then I guarantee that you have seen parts of Parc Güell. A fan of ANTM? Remember Cycle 7 Season Finale runway? That was Parc Güell...
Some movie's that have scenes of filmed in Parc Güell:
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Scarlett Johansson and Javier Bardem filmed a scene in front of the dragon statue at the beginning of the park.

Besides being an amazing location for movie scenes, Parc Güell is full of amazing sights, hiking trails, and at the top of the hill, one of the most amazing panoramic views of Barcelona. On the park grounds lies Gaudi's house where he lived with his niece for many years. The house is now a museum, Casa Museo de Gaudi.
