Lesser known Gaudi works

Colegio Teresiano GaudíAs happened with the Sagrada Familia, Gaudí took over a school works and the main house of the order Teresian in Barcelona, when the building was already built up, the first floor, by an architect or master builder whose name is unknown.

This situation imposed certain restrictions, which where added to the limited funds of the religious community and the desire to represent austerity imposed by the rule of poverty of the order.

In this work Gaudí introduced a large number of external decorative wrought iron railings, so the taste of the great architect.  
Gaudi addressed these works for a short time, not reaching the end of the school or chapel that was built in 1908, designed by Gabriel Borrell i Clarke, professor of the School of Architecture.

This school is located in Ganduxer st., in the corner with Ronda General Mitre.

Gaudí's dead

Not much people know how Gaudí died. From what it known he was hit by a tram in front of Sagrada Familia when he crossed the street aiming to go to the construction side of his masterpiece.

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.
