The Catalan Antoni Gaudí created strange, audacious, and beautiful structures and buildings that gave the city of Barcelona a unique identity.
Among his most famous works is the Park Guell. Above and beyond his relationship with the Count, Eusebi Güell, Gaudí received many commissions from him and proposed numerous projects, with his great patron being his main patron. Many of these, happily, were transformed into reality, but some never left the drawing board.
