Gaudi’s Barcelona: un metodo distinto per vedere la città

Ultimo aggiornamento: 11/7/20 | 7 novembre 2020

Non puoi andare a Barcellona senza vedere l’influenza di Gaudi dappertutto. È i molti famosi designer della città e ha contribuito a modellare lo stile della città durante il suo fiorente XIX e l’inizio del XX secolo. La sua influenza modella ancora la città oggi.

Nato nel 1852, Anton Gaudí apparteneva al movimento Art Nouveau, con i suoi primi stili incentrati su stili architettonici catalani gotici e convenzionali. Tuttavia, non è passato molto tempo fino a quando non ha sviluppato il suo stile che lo ha distinto da tutti gli altri.

Denominato “architetto di Dio” per i temi religiosi nel suo lavoro, un certo numero di creazioni di Gaudi sono state davvero dichiarate siti del patrimonio mondiale dell’UNESCO. Le sue molte opere ben note, La Sagrada Familia non è solo l’attrazione più importante a Barcellona, ​​ma la maggior parte è andata al monumento in tutta la Spagna.

Gaudi morì tragicamente nel 1926 dopo essere stato colpito da un tram sul suo metodo in chiesa. Fu bussato incosciente e, dal momento che non aveva alcun tipo di identificazione su di lui, la gente pensava che fosse un mendicante e lo lasciava lì (noci, eh?). Alla fine fu portato in una struttura medica ma, quando la gente si rese conto di chi era, era anche tardi. È morto per le sue ferite poco dopo.

Da allora, la sua influenza sul paesaggio della città è continuata con numerosi allievi che hanno realizzato edifici nel suo stile e il lavoro alla Sagrada Familia che continuano fino ad oggi.

Nessun andare a Barcellona è totale senza fare un viaggio del suo lavoro. Ti fornirà informazioni sulla storia e la crescita della città e ti assisterà a capire esattamente quanto sia essenziale questo ragazzo per il Barcellona. Il Barcellona non è solo Barcellona senza Gaudi.

Ecco la mia guida per andare in tutte le belle attrazioni di Gaudi a Barcellona:

La Sagrada Familia

I molti noti del lavoro di Gaud … e quello che sembra non essere mai finito. La chiesa è stata in costruzione per oltre 100 anni (il rivoluzionario era nel 1882 e dovrebbe essere fatto nel 2030!). Gaudí è stato un devoto cattolico e ha trascorso gli ultimi 10 anni della sua vita a lavorare su questo progetto. La chiesa fonde le influenze dell’uomo, della natura e delle credenze religiose nella sua architettura completa. Vale la pena acquistare la guida audio in quanto copre la storia della chiesa in dettaglio fantastico. Cerca di andare a metà mattina fino a tardo pomeriggio in modo da poter vedere la cascata della luce del sole in tutto il vetro colorato.

Gaudi Lampposts: Placia autentica e Pla del Palau

Il primo compenso che Gaudí ha ottenuto dopo essersi laureato all’istituzione è stato quello di costruire lampioni per la città. Su richiesta del Consiglio comunale nel 1878, sviluppò lampade con tre e sei armi e incoronato da un casco alato. Erano simbolici del potere industriale di Barcellona, ​​realizzati in ghisa e marmo. Sono tutti spariti ora tranne quelli rimasti in Placia autentica e Pla del Palau.

Place Real, appena fuori La Rambla. Si trovano in una piazza pubblica, quindi sono disponibili 24 ore su 24, 7 giorni su 7, nonché gratuiti.

Casa Batllo

Casa Batllo è un edificio restaurato da Antoni Gaudí nei primi anni del 1900. Ha trascorso 2 anni nel lavoro rinnovando totalmente l’esterno, il piano primario, il patio e il tetto. Con la sua forma ondulata, è certamente una delle sue creazioni molto più attraenti. Situato nel distretto di Eixample di Barcellona, ​​(come qualunque cosa Gaudí abbia progettato) è stato fortemente influenzato dallo stile Art Nouveau. La facciata era decorata con un mosaico fatto di piastrelle di ceramica danneggiata che ha raccolto dalla spazzatura di un negozio di vetro vicino. Il sistema di copertura è arcuato e è stato paragonato al retro di un drago. È uno dei miei edifici Gaudí preferiti.

Passeig de Gràcia 43, +34 932-160-306, Casabatllo.es. Aperto tutti i giorni dalle 9:00 alle 21:00. I biglietti sono 24,50 EUR se li acquisti su Internet o 28,50 EUR di persona. Evitare i biglietti di linea sono offerti per 29,50 EUR (o 33,50 EUR in ufficio).

Palau Guell

Situato al largo di La Rambla, l’edificio di Palau Guell (Guell Palace) non ti salta fuori come altre strutture Gaudí. Costruito dal 1886-88, fu sviluppato per uno dei clienti di Gaudi, Eusebi Güell. La casa è incentrata sullo spazio primario utilizzato per intrattenere ospiti ad alta società. Lo spazio di celebrazione principale ha un soffitto alto con piccoli buchi vicino alla cima dove le lanterne erano appese di notte dall’esterno per fornire ilappearance of a starlit sky. There are colorful tree-like chimneys on top. It’s a bit creepy as well as gothic to me. anche uno dei miei preferiti!

Park Guell

Park Güell is a 45-acre garden complex developed as well as built between 1900 to 1914. It’s because been converted into a municipal garden as well as is now a world Heritage Site. The focal point of the park is the primary terrace, which is surrounded by a long bench in the type of a sea serpent. known for incorporating different themes into his work, Gaudí incorporated creative elements of Catalan nationalism in addition to ancient poetry as well as mysticism into this work. The park is best near La Sagrada Familia so it’s simple to go to both. I like exactly how colorful whatever in the park is!

Casa Calvet

Built between 1898-1900, Casa Calvet was built for a textile producer in the Eixample district of Barcelona. This building is the most traditional of his works, partly since it had to be squeezed in between older structures as well as partly since it’s in one of the nicest sections of Barcelona. The house’s symmetry, balance, as well as orderly rhythm are unusual for Gaudí’s works. The curves as well as double gable at the top as well as the projecting oriel at the entrance are modernist elements. He likewise incorporated mythological as well as natural motifs, which helped him win the award for the very best building in 1900 from the Barcelona City Council.

Carrer de Casp 48. You can only stop by to take pictures of the outside of the building as you aren’t allowed into this personal residence. 

Casa Vicens

Casa Vicens was Gaudí’s very first essential work. The home was constructed between 1883-1888 as well as is made of undressed stone, rough red bricks, as well as colored ceramic tiles in checkerboard as well as floral patterns. The client was the owner of a brick as well as tile factory, so the ceramic tiles pay tribute to his employment.  This is one of Gaudi’s works that falls into his “orientalist” period, as his work has much more middle Eastern/Far Eastern influences. It’s extremely different from his other sites (and frequently has the shortest line).

Gaudí, himself a Catholic as well as a devotee of the Virgin Mary, likewise planned for the Casa Milà to be a spiritual sign as well as included numerous religious elements like an excerpt from the rosary prayer on the cornice as well as statues of Mary,  St. Michael, as well as St. Gabriel. Casa Milà became run down as well as partially abandoned up until it was restored in the late 1980s to its original form.

Cascada Fountain in Parc de la Ciutadella

Gaudí helped style this while he was still a student. He was accountable for the style of the fountain, the bandstand, as well as the park’s entrance gate, a job that stretched from 1873 to 1882. Baroque in style, the fountain is massive, intricate, as well as awe-inspiring. I loved sitting in the park as well as just staring at it. If you go to many of the sites on this list, you’ll see the development of his style as well as exactly how different this is from his other works.

Passeig de Picasso 21. The park is open everyday from 10am-10pm. Admission is free.

College of Saint Teresa

The building looks like a fortress, this is a convent institution that Gaudí developed for The purchase of Saint Teresa of Jesus. The job was already underway when Gaudi became involved, however he made some changes to the plans to much better show his personal style as well as vision.

Bellesguard Tower

The Bellesguard Tower, likewise known as Casa Figueras, was built by Gaudí between 1900-1909. It was built as a second home for Figueras as well as implied to feel like a medieval fortress with sporting towers as well as battlements. There are some Art Noveaux elements mixed in right here that provide it a modernist take on a traditional Gothic structure.

***
Gaudí was a prolific designer as well as wandering around Barcelona, you’re sure to bump into numerous of his major as well as lesser works. much more than that, you’ll see his influence throughout the city as other architects as well as his students copied his style in their own work. I frequently look at buildings as well as go “Ahh that should be by Gaudi too” only to discover out it’s not. That’s exactly how strong of an influence he has on Barcelona.

As I like traveling with a theme, browsing out Gaudi’s works is a fantastic style to check out with when you’re in Barcelona.
