The park's gardens are laid out in terraces on the southern slopes of Carmel Hill, which offer views of the city of Barcelona. The entrance stairs are decorated with Gaudí's signature mosaics, made from colorful ceramic tile fragments.
One of the most emblematic features of Park Güell is the Hypostyle Hall, a large hypostyle hall with a wavy ceiling, trencadís (ceramic fragment tiling) supported by Doric columns. The hall was originally intended to be a market but was never completed.
Another notable feature of the park is the long, winding bench that snakes along the perimeter of the park. The bench is decorated with colorful mosaics made from ceramic fragments.
