Parc Güell's famous dragon
Parc Güell's famous dragon

Guell Park contains amazing stone structures, stunning tiling and fascinating buildings. Parc Guell’s dragon or lizard is one of the most interesting stone structures in the park. This lizard is adorned with beautiful coloured tiles and there is something rather hypnotic and magical about it. The Lizard is extremely photogenic and a perfect background for that "quintessential Barcelona shot," if you can get it without ten other people around you! The lizard represents Python, guardian of the subterranean waters, and Gaudi thus alludes darkly to what is of immense importance for the park, but which escapes the eye: behind the lizard a cistern lies concealed that contains up to 10,000 litres of water; it was conceived as a rainwater collector. In this manner, rainwater was channelled into the collector and stored to irrigate the barren parkland.
