Barcelona is the home of my favorite architect, Antonio Gaudi, and of the moderniste movement. Gaudi’s work is colorful and playful; it embodies his interest in shapes, color, the geometry of nature, and religion. All of his buildings are topped with an off-center cross.

Hands down, Gaudi’s most wonderful creation is the Sagrada Familia, the most visited monument in Spain. Construction was begun in 1882 and continues today, completely funded by donations.

At the time of our visit, the interior was full of construction material, leaving only a path around the circumference. It was interesting to see the forms that will be used to create the interior and inspired us to imagine how the light from the stained glass windows will fall. You can see more images on the poster in the Prints section.
