"Hello Gaudi!"<br />
In the Middle Ages, Barcelona was<br />
one of the most prosperous cities<br />
in Europe. Many large Gothic-style<br />
churches were built during this period,<br />
including the Cathedral of Barcelona.<br />
The renovation of numerous buildings<br />
and districts before the 1992 Summer<br />
Olympic Games totally transformed<br />
the city.<br />
Barcelona is simultaneously the<br />
best preserved Medieval quarter in<br />
Europe and an exceptional feat of<br />
urban planning and design. The late<br />
nineteenth century is considered the<br />
primary development period of Antoni<br />
Gaudi's architectural influence. Gaudi's<br />
designs transformed Barcelona into<br />
a city like no other destination in the<br />
world. The Catalans often say that you<br />
can see the stamp of Gaudi whenever<br />
you walk along the streets.<br />
Gaudi's influence is widespread<br />
- Casa Vicens is known for its ceramic<br />
decorations, La Pedrera impresses<br />
with its unconventional rough-hewn<br />
appearance, Casa Batll„ boasts Art<br />
Nouveau quirks, and La Sagrada<br />
Familia, a large Roman Catholic<br />
church, has come to symbolize the city.<br />
GAUDI'S DESIGNS TRANSFORMED BARCELONA INTO A<br />
THE CATALANS OFTEN SAY THAT You can see the stamp<br />
Ninety-one years after his death,<br />
La Sagrada Familia is still under<br />
construction. Inspired by nature,<br />
the design of the church integrates<br />
Gaudi's personal "crazy" style and<br />
embrace of the imagination with the<br />
arches and vaulted roofs of traditional<br />
Gothic architecture. The city hopes<br />
to complete the church in 2026, 140<br />
years after the first day of construction.<br />
To take a panorama photo featuring<br />
La Sagrada Familia, cross to the park<br />
opposite the building - Placa de Gaudi<br />
- and find a position on the other side<br />
of the lake. If you angle your camera<br />
strategically, you may be able to<br />
"deceive" viewers into believing the<br />
structure is complete.<br />
