The Rooftop

The Rooftop The Rooftop
The roof is one of Palau Güell's magical corners and is outstanding for its twenty chimneys and central spire, which is 15 metres high. On the roof of Palau Güell, Gaudí turned traditional chimneys into genuine sculptures, with bases, stacks and caps in fantastic shapes. There are twenty chimneys altogether. In the middle of them is the 15-metre high spire, which tops the dome of the central hall and is covered in an original recycled stone.
