Talk:Park Güell

message: Is there any reason not to move this to Parc Guell? If we were going to do it in English, it would be Guell Park. - Montréalais
I agree; it's better known by its Catalan name.  It should be at Parc Güell. -- Cjmnyc 07:37, 13 Aug 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: The original project that wanted Mr. Güell was a residential zone like the English residential municipalities. Then, the real name was "Park" Güell. Look it:  - Llull 13:59, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)

The actual name it's "Parc Güell", not Park Güell. you can check this at the Barcelona's City Council website. Even in Catalan they refer to the park as Parc Güell.
I' am a spanish, and the correct is: Parc Güell ( In Català ) or Parque Guell ( In Spanish ) or Park Guell in english. But the correct form is Parc Güell.
I'm a Catalan, and what is correct is PARC GÜELL (in Catalan), 
(need only to have a look at some books....!)
I would not trust everything they say in the city council website !!! ;)
See also in the very same city council website: http://www.bcn.es/gaudi2002/english/gab_pres/rdeng.doc (by the end of the second page)
I believe the original name of the subdivision was "Park Güell," because it was modeled on English subdivisions. As a result, the walls have occasional mosaics reading "Park Güell." But as a city park of Barcelona, it is called the "Parc Güell," as this is correct in Catalan acomas (talk) 04:30, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

message: The intro says the park is located in El Carmel, in Gracia - El Carmel is a part of the Horta-Guinardo district, not Gracia. Which one is correct? Ninja neko (talk) 18:49, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Do you think that it could be good to add this webiste to exteranl links?:
#http:// parkguell . net84 . net/eng/
Because there isn't any official website of the park and all the sites are about Gaudí and his works, but this is all about the park. --RobCatalà (talk) 08:03, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Just happened to come across this. The statue of the lizard is not a sea serpent (sea serpents have no legs). It is a "dragó", a common medium-small lizard native to Catalonia and nearby areas. The dragon is important in Catalan culture, which Gaudí fervently supported. as the animal slain by St. George, Catalonia's patron saint. Somebody please fix this.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.33.158.121 (talk) 12:09, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I understand. However, I am having some trouble searching for "dragó" as a lizard in Catalonia. I am turning up many references to the mythical dragon or drac slain by St. George, but not an actual lizard. Is the sculpture really meant to represent a real-life lizard and not a mythical dragon? Do you have any reliable sources that explain this? Thanks. Elizium23 (talk) 13:51, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  In fact, it is a salamander. Although it is popularly called drac (dragon). --95.120.58.66 (talk) 17:55, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

message: For such an important and widely-known site, this article seems flowery and vacuous. A lot of florid praise for the park and uncited claims about Gaudí's intentions; almost nothing about (for example) why the effort at making it a housing development failed, how exactly ownership passed to the city, how it fared in the Spanish Civil War, how it came to gain the status of a World Heritage Site, etc. Nor is there any mention of any other artist, engineer, etc. involved besides Gaudí himself. - Jmabel | Talk 16:30, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
