Mosaic music
Underneath the Parque Guell’s main square, underneath the serpent bench, Gaudi built a very special kind of music room. Supported by 86 doric columns, the vaulted ceiling reverberates the sounds, and it is a good place for buskers and other musicians. The 2 photos above show some of the decorations on the ceiling.
2 more views of the columns themselves.
exquisite, so full of lively colors!

The mosaics are beautiful and fun, but I would love to experience the sound for myself. I imagine that the room makes even speaking voices sound great.

A chello, probably the only instrument, able to reflect the beauty of this place.
