Casa Batlló Barcelona - Gaudi's work in Barcelona

1 – Sagrada Familia (1882-currently under construction): this is probably the most famous Gaudi’s building. The Project started in 1882, and Gaudí got involve one year later. The architect did not abandon the Project until his death in 1926. The building is still under construction and it is built from donations. Gaudí himself said: “The expiatory church of La Sagrada Família is made by the people and is mirrored in them. It is a work that is in the hands of God and the will of the people.” Learn more about it and tickets at: http://www.sagradafamilia.cat/sf-eng/?lang=0

2- La Casa Milà (1906-1912): it is known as La Pedrera (meaning “The Quarry” in Catalan). Casa Milà is the fourth and final work Gaudí did on Passeig de Gràcia, the main avenue of the city at the time. The building marked a break with the architectural language of Gaudí’s work in terms of innovation in both the functional aspects and the constructive and ornamental ones.

3 – Park Güell (1900-1914): Eusebi Guell bought a large farm in the “Muntaya Pelada”, Gracia. He wanted to build a Garden-city, the works were commissioned to Antonio Gaudí. It was opened to the public in 1926 as a park for its beauty. In 1984 it was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco.

The “Manzana de la Discordia”, or Block of Discord, is a series of buildings in Passeig de Gràcia. It is home to a collection of works by the most renowned architects, amongst which is Casa Batlló. The house, now a museum, is open to the public, both for cultural visits and for celebrating events in its splendid modernist function rooms.

5- Casa Vicens (1883-1888): is a family residence designed by Antoni Gaudí and built for industrialist Manuel Vicens. It was Gaudí’s first important work. It was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Works of Antoni Gaudí” in 2005.

It is located at Carrer de les Carolines 24, in the Gràcia district of Barcelona. This early work exhibits several influences, most notably the Moorish or Mudéjar influence. The house is constructed of undressed stone, rough red bricks, and colored ceramic tiles in checkerboard and floral patterns. The owner, Manuel Vicens, was the owner of a brick and tile factory, so the ceramic tiles pay tribute to his employment. It is not posible to visit the house inside, but it is wonderful to see it from the outside. It is currently on sale. Visit his web: http://www.casavicens.es/
