Barcelona Enlightened by Gaudi

Lesser known Gaudi works

alt

Barcelona, the lucky city which is being embellished  by Gaudi´s works, holds piece of art nearly in each corner. Apart from the marvellous buildings and parks, Gaudi had designed street lamps. They are located in Pla de Palau and Plaça Reial which are the main points of a touristic route. Those street lights, designed by Gaudi after a commision from City of Barcelona had made a request. He designed them in late 1890s.

Gaudi had designed 2 models, one is with three arms which is now in Pla de Palau and the other one is in the Plaça Reial with 6 arms.

Both lights you will see for sure during your visit to Barcelona for sure but you have to pay attention to recognize them. Most people pass by them and don´t know that they are Gaudi´s desgins. Just stop for a minute and see how beautifully they are made.

He lay in the hospital "Hospital de la Santa Creu", but people didn't recognise the famous artist because of his neglected appereance.

Only three days later, a friend of him found him in this hospital and asked for a private room for him. The same day, 10 July 1926 he died.
