Description

Antoni Gaudi and his inimicable fluid, organic style will be forever linked to Barcelona. His spectacular buildings - among them the Guell Palace and the monumental La Sagrada Familia - have come to symbolize the city. As well as revealing the architect's working and building methods, the author also discusses Barcelona's social and cultural background and the city's heritage as the capital of Art Nouveau.
