The hills of Barcelona are located between the Quaternary littoral plain, where the old part of the city was settled, and the Collserola range. In the hills, a succession of Paleozoic rocks affected by a number of tectonic episodes is preserved (Variscan orogeny, Mesozoic extension, Paleogene compression and Neogene extension). The small size of the mappable units is a scientific challenge. Some of the best outcrops are in Park Güell, a good reason for that geologists visited the work of the famous architect Antoni Gaudí.
