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 four most important works of art.
La Sagrada Família
This unfinished temple commenced in April 1882, and Gaudí worked on it until he died in 1926, spending the final twelve years of his life exclusively on this mission. It is a colossal traveller attraction, and has become one of the most instantly-recognisable sites in Spain. Built totally from donations, it still remains unfinished, and is expected to be completed during the next 20 years or so. It costs €10 to get in, with discounts costing €8. Guided tours are in English and Spanish each day, and cost €14. If you want to visit Barcelona, you will arrive at Aeroport Barcelone.
The Parc Güell
Commissioned by Eusebi Güell again as a luxury villa, this stunning park is a pleasure to walk around. Built between 1900 and 1914, it was intended to provide up to 60 luxury homes for the great and the good of the city, but ended up being turned into a park instead. Another UNESCO World Heritage Site, it includes Gaudí’s residence, known as La Torre Rosa, which includes furniture that he designed himself, the main terrace with a bench in the form of a serpent, and a big dragon at the entrance. It is located to the north of the Gràcia district, and you should take the Metro L3 headed for Lesseps to reach it.
La Casa Milá
Also known as La Pedrera, this is maybe Gaudí’s most immediately-recognisable work. Built between 1906 and 1910, it was built for a married couple who was known for their flamboyant lifestyle, and is even less conventional than Casa Battlló. No straight lines are used in the structure and the ground plans are irregular, but one of the most interesting features is the roof terrace with its surreal chimneys. It could be reached by taking the Metro L3 or L5 to Diagonal. To enjoy this wonderful monument, you can book a Voyage Barcelone
La Casa Battlló
Situated on the Passeig de Gràcia, this is an extraordinary structure and a favourite for many. It is characterised by its incredible curls, and makes use of ceramic tiles and mosaic throughout, which was some of Gaudí´s favourite materials. It has a eccentric and eerie appearance, and is a very original work of art.
