Gaudí

Antoni Gaudí i Cornet was born on the 25th June 1852, in Reus.

He was an architect which working style was the Modernisme. 

I love his work, but I really love El temple expiatori de la Sagrada Famila and The Park Güell

 

El temple expiatori de la Sagrada Familia is a tribute to nature and Christianity.
The building was started in 1882 and today is still unfinished.
Gaudí didn't left any plan because he worked using wooden or plaster models. It increased the difficulty of the construction. Luckily since 1979 they're using 3D tecnology, and it speeds up the process of making a new part of the temple.
The building is kind of a rock Bible, the facades explain Jesus life: birth, death and resurrection.
14,000 people can be held in the temple and has around 4,500 square meters, it's a huge construction.

                                                               

Park Güell, for me, is the master piece of Gaudí's constructions.

It is part of the UNESCO World's Heritage.

The park was built from 1900 to 1910, though since 1914 it was not inaugurated.

The Government wants to preserve the heritage value of the monument so they are trying to reduce the number of visitors. 

This monument is the one which has more visits of Barcelona, and maybe in the whole country: 25.000 visitors a day.

The park has different important zones: the sea/snake bench, the dragon fountain, the Sala Hipóstila, the Calvary monument, and the Rosary path.
