Works Of Gaudi In Barcelona
Gaudi is one of the most well known modernist architects in the world, a number of his works have been made in “the city of wonders” Barcelona. Let’s see what his 4 most important works of art.
La Sagrada Fam?lia
This unfinished temple commenced in April 1882, and Gaud? worked on it until he died in 1926, spending the last twelve years of his existence exclusively on this project. It is a colossal visitor attraction, and has become one of the most instantly-recognisable places in Spain. Built totally from donations, it still remains unfinished, and is expected to be completed during the following 20 years or so. It costs 10 euros to get in, with discounts costing €8. Guided visits are in English and Spanish each day, and cost €14. If you want to visit Barcelona, you will arrive at Aeroport Barcelone.
The Parc G?ell
Commissioned by Eusebi G?ell again as a luxury villa, this stunning parc is a delight to walk around. Constructed between 1900 and 1914, it has been intended to provide up to sixty luxury homes for the great and the good of the city, but ended up being turned into a parc instead. Another UNESCO World Heritage Site, it includes Gaud?’s house, identified as La Torre Rosa, which includes furniture that he created himself, the main terrace with a bench in the form of a serpent, as well as a big dragon at the entry. It is located to the north of the Gr?cia quarter, and you should take the Metro L3 to Lesseps to get to it.
La Casa Mil?
Also known as La Pedrera, this is perhaps Gaud?’s most immediately-recognisable creation. Built between 1906 and 1910, it has been designed for a married couple who were known for their flamboyant life style, and is even less conventional than Casa Battll?. No straight lines are used in the structure and the floor plans are unequal, but one of the most attractive features is the roof terrace with its unreal chimneys. It can be reached by getting the Metro L3 or L5 to Diagonal. To enjoy this wonderful monument, you can book a Voyage Barcelone
La Casa Battll?
Located on the Passeig de Gr?cia, this is an amazing structure and a favorite for many. It is characterised by its amazing curls, and makes use of ceramic tiles and mosaic throughout, which were some of Gaud??s favorite materials. It has a eccentric and eerie appearance, and is a truly original work of art.
