Many people know about the famous Sagrada Familia, but did you know that Gaudí developed some of its groundbreaking design ideas through his work on Colonia Güell?
Located just outside Barcelona, Colonia Güell is an unfinished crypt where Gaudí experimented with innovative architectural techniques.
Here, he used a small-scale version of his signature catenary arches and organic forms, which later defined the Sagrada Familia.
That 4th pic is very stylish. That's great design. Very arabic.
Amazing! I didn't know about them. The world is really big. My list has got one more entry for my world tour.
Thanks man!
My pleasure. Next time when you are close to Barcelona, you can take the bus and visit it. It is a huge area with buildings .

yes, very interesting man ;-) I did visit sagrada and one house in barcelona, it was a very good unforgettable experience
I will post soon his first work. This is a small corner of mansion close to "Diagonal" (Near Camp Nou Stadium). In Colonia Guell Gaudi experimented with shapes, forms, materials and structures. He used all these in his next projects. In the area you can find small pieces of all his late creations. From the benches in the church ( seen in Batilla Casa) to the ceramic mosaics (used later in Park Guell).
Beautiful!!
I have to pay them a visit.. One of those places i want to visit but somehow, never make it
True. It required some extra time as the location is outside of Barcelona. But you can use the normal bus line and visit the place. It can take half day.
Oh, its actually like 25 min from my work.. Its one of those places its so near you keep postponing.
