A guide brings Park Güell to life. You'll learn that the 86 columns of the Hypostyle Room were also part of a sophisticated water collection system, designed to channel rainwater into an underground cistern. You'll hear how the trencadís mosaic technique utilized discarded tiles from local factories, an early example of recycling.
