Antoni Gaudi






I went to Barcelona in 2006, and was absolutely fascinated by the beauty of Gaudi's architecture around the city. The style is gothic, which creates a romantic air about the place, particularly at night when the city is lit up. 

La Sagrada Familia is Gaudi's most spectacular piece, which he never lived to see finished. It is very overwhelming and the design is so detailed it seems like a never ending task! Gaudi was interested in natures angles and curves, which explains why his work compliments the surroundings so beautifully.
