 Chimneys on the rooftops of
Casa Milà by JanPeter74
Antonio Gaudí (1852-1926) was an architect that was born in Reus, close to Barcelona. His most important works can all be found in Barcelona and consist of Parque Güell, Casa Milà, Casa Batlló, Palau Güell and his still unfinished masterpiece "La Sagrada Familia".
Important characteristics of his work are organic natural forms, ceramic tiles, mosaics, cast iron, parabolic arches and strangely shaped chimneys. Next to these things Gaudí was also good at inventing very creative solutions for improving comfort in his buildings, such as ventilation and blinds to keep the sun out.
Gaudí died in a hospital, almost unknown after his was hit by a streetcar in 1926. Leave a Comment

While in Barcelona - you CANNOT miss visiting the Sangrada de Familia!
This Church has been under construction since 1882!
Isn't that AMAZING?!?
This is the work of famous architect/artist Antoni Gaudi inspired by Montserrat Mountain. Although far from being complete - What a masterpiece!! Estimates are for another 50 - 100 years to complete.
OK - There is an elevator that takes you up to the TOP! TAKE IT!! It was only 2 Euros when I was there, and it was worth it!!
***** Of course, please be prepared, you must walk down... and it's a long way down very circular stairs. *****
The view from the top is beautiful. A highlight for me was seeing the colorful mosaics up close. From the ground, the towers appear to be solidly colored. However, up close, you'll note that they're not! They are mosaics! What time, effort, care, and attention went into the construction of this building. Very Beautiful. Please enjoy the pictures below.
Inside you may also find of interest a room that describes Gaudi's inspirations for different aspects of the church. There are also numerous original "blueprints" and plans to be viewed in a dark room, as well. FANTASTIC!
I could have spent HOURS here. However, my tour was ready to move along. In fact - they waited about half an hour for me to return to the bus.... :-S Not very good. Yet, I'm glad to have seen everything I saw - it was worth it! (I'd do it again!) Leave a Comment Address: Placa de la Sangrada FamiliaDirections: In the Gothic Quarter. I'll check my map when I get home and update this later. I can see it in my mind.... However, can't remember exact details (would hate to lead you in the wrong direction!).
