Once, if you're alive, blink, once, if you're alive.
Welcome to the early days of Gotti's archaeological imagination.
This is Park Gual.
Park Gual is one of the world's most intriguing parts.
The park's colorful main staircase and the fancy four pavilions
that are designed by Antoni Gotti
look like they belong in some kind of fairy tale or front house.
The park started out as a development project.
Yuzzi B. Gual, a well-known Catalan industrialist, acquired a 17-haker, large hilly plot in the Garcia district, north of Barcelona.
He wanted to turn the area into a residential green village based on English models.
60 housing units as well as several public buildings were planned.
In 1900, Gual commissioned his friend in Prodigy, Antoni Gotti, with the development of the project.
With the support from other architects, including Josep and Riel Huho, and his disciple, Francesz Brangier,
Gotti worked on the garden village until 1914 when it was clear the project was a commercial failure.
Gual failed to sell a single house.
In 1918, the city acquired the property and in 1922 it was opened to the public as a park.

So how come you came here from Poland to Barcelona? What brought you here?
I came ten years ago. So it's a long time and the first reason was I came to study here.
I was studying cultural anthropology and I got some obviously English money from my university and I came.
And I passed through a lot of jobs and a lot of things.
How long have you been playing the harp?
Three years.
Three years?
Yes.
That's amazing.
It's beautiful.
