Gaudi designed the two-story house for the guard and the office at the entrance of the park. Into the park, a big step of a unique shape leads the people to a multi-pillar hall, followed by the ancient Greek-style theaters.It continues to lead the people onto the roof terrace above the multi-pillar hall.The terrace is broad, over 30 meters wide and deep, surrounded by the parapet and chairs.It is a good place for visitors to stroll, rest, walk and dance.
