March, 24, 2014. FCD showing Barcelona's Park Güell Dragon's Fountain on the park main stairs. Although my grand father who lived nearby (as we still do), called it "the Lizard's Fountain"; obviously, he had never seen a living dragon... I my view, it looks more as an iguana. The beast is on the mini-seet and also on the round stamp, actually the reproduction of a 2 € coin. The park was built by Antoni Gaudí between 1901 and 1914 and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.   |
