Finca Güell by GaudíBuildings designed to house stables and riding area for which later became Gaudís main client, and also good friend, Eusebi Güell.


Unlike the other works undertaken by Gaudí in his first buildings, the exterior of this property is very sober and lacking of windows. In this case Gaudi his attention to the functionality of the interiors. The materials used are again basically bricks and tiles, maintaining a more relaxed neo-Mudejar style.

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. 

He was buried in the midst of La Sagrada Família.
