Some monuments, such as the Casa Vicens, have retained over time both their physical appearance and their use as family homes. The Casa Milà-La Pedrera and the Casa Batlló, a pre-existing building remodelled by Gaudí, largely conserve their original design as apartment buildings, combining this in present day with other uses, such as offices and cultural and tourist facilities. The Park Güell is still used as a public park and green space, the purpose for which it was designed now combining this with tourist and cultural use, while conserving the original features in their entirety. The Palau Güell, originally a family home, is now a cultural and tourist facility that retains its architectural integrity, form, and original decoration. In general, all the component parts of the property enjoy a high degree of integrity and have retained a good relationship with their surroundings, whether urban or natural.
