Antoni Gaudi’s Biography
Who is Antoni Gaudí?
Considered to be the main exponent of Catalan Modernism, Antoni Gaudí is one of the most important architects in history.
His works stand out for the incorporation of structural solutions inspired by nature, as well as for including a deep religious symbolism. In fact, Gaudí’s biography is very much influenced by Catholicism, which determined all the aspects of the architect’s personality.
Gaudí’s most important works in Barcelona are Sagrada Familia, Casa Vicens, Güell Palace, Casa Batlló, Park Güell and La Pedrera.
All these monuments, along with the crypt in the Colonia Güell, located in Santa Coloma de Cervelló, form part of the list of World Heritage sites of Unesco.
