Turó de les tres creus, Parc Güell, Barcelona

Turó de les tres creus
Parc Güell (Park Güell)
Carmel Hill
Barcelona, March 2017

“This is the highest part of the park, from here you can see most of Barcelona. Currently there are three crosses on top of a hill of stone, named ‘Calvari’. Two of them indicate the cardinal points (N-S-E-W), and the other pointing skyward. But this was not the wishes of Gaudí, he wanted to build the chapel here in the top of the Park Güell, but they found some prehistoric remains. So he used the remains as an inspiration and build this monument with some similarities with the caves.” (Turó de les tres creus, Park Güell)
