Barcelona and Gaudi's Heritage

April 3, 2008 - PRLog -- Add to that the numerous affordable Barcelona hotels and you have a perfect tourist destination. Since summer is about to start and Barcelona is an all-time favourite among the European travel destinations, the Gaudi sights will again be one of the main attractions to visit this season.
Many of the architectural wonders of this city have been designed or remodeled by the master architect Antoni Gaudi. Much of the city bears the stamp of his individualistic and highly stylistic designs.
One of the pioneers of the ‘Art Nouveau’ movement, his architectural works, are the pride of Barcelona and all of them are designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The magic of Gaudi is evident in all parts of the City, and most hotels in Barcelona, as on http://www.barcelonapoint.com/en/barcelona_hotels/ offer guided tours of all Gaudi marvels.
One of the most visited Gaudi sights is Casa Batllo. This was a building built in 1877 and restored by Gaudi. It is also called the ‘Casa dels ossos’ or the house of bones. This is because of the innate visceral and organic skeletal image projected by the building. Located in one of the prosperous districts of Barcelona, the building once housed a middle-class family. Accommodation in Barcelona can also be found near this architectural marvel, for more information follow this link: http://www.barcelonapoint.com/.
Equally popular is the La Pedrera. This is an Antoni Gaudi building that was constructed in the years 1906-1910. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is one of the premier works of this Catalan architect. It has a biomorphic appearance, which is reminiscent off all the architects’ works.
Gaudi’s influence in Barcelona is omnipresent. If you walk through the streets of Barcelona, searching for a Barcelona apartment for your accommodation, there is a good chance of your coming across some of Gaudi’s work. He has had a tremendous influence on the City, its art work and its overall architecture.
The tracery, irregular shapes of windows and doors and the flowing sculptures will mesmerize your with their elegance and cumulative visual appeal. They will definitely leave an indelible impression on your mind.
