This might seem like a really, really random thing to make a blog on, but Gaudi enjoyed making lamppost. This one in particular is really cool. They are called Viv Lamp-posts.

In early 1910 a friend of Gaudi's recommended that he should take a vacation in the nearby town of Vic, 37 miles or so from Barcelona. Gaudi stayed in Vic for 3 weeks during the month of may in 1910. His friend meant for Gaudi to be on vacation and only be relaxing, but once Gaudi learned that Jaume Balmes (the famous Catalan Philosopher) was going to be celebrated over his birth, Gaudi planned to make celebratory lamp-post just for the occasion. He sketched 2 lamp-post with iron arms, and the common four-armed Gaudinian cross on the top. The plan went through and the lamp-post were honored on September 7th 1910.

*Sadly in 1924 it was decided, that they needed to be demolished.
