Architecture, Gaudi, His works

Gaudi, has made many famous buildings, gates/walls, lamppost and other architectural designs in Spain. A few are: Casa Calvet, Palacio Episcopal de Astorga, Schools of Sagrada Familia, Casa Vicens, Finca Güell, Finca Miralles,Casa Batlló, Park Güell and La Pedrera (This was his last great work). In this blog I was going to focus on one of my favorite buildings Gaudi made called Casa Vicens. A stock broker named Señor Manuel Vicens I Montaner, had wanted Gaudi to build a house on the lot that he acceded from his mother. Gaudi built the house against the wall of another house and it left plenty of room for a large garden. For the garden Gaudi made a large fountain, but sadly it is no longer standing today, because someone bought some of land and it was destroyed. The garden is surrounded by a wall made of stucco and the entrance is a gate made from Iron molded to look like a palm leave. The house and garden were finished in 1883
