Parc Güell: stairs of the entrance
by GAUDÍ, Antoni, Photo
Besides Christian symbols, Gaud� loved classical and oriental mythology. The salamander in the Parc G�ell, popularly known as “el drac” (the dragon), is thus a representation of Python, the guardian of the subterranean waters on the steps of the Temple of Apollo in Delphi.
The photo shows the fountain with the dragon at the entrance to the park.
