The works by Gaudi at Barcelona and Mallorca

Gaudi is a very famous architect with Sagrada Familia, under constructing in more than one hundred years.
It will be completed in2026, ten years later from now.
Besides Sagrada Familia, Gaudi produced the Park Guell  and the Casa Mila apartment in Barcelona,  and designed the sacred canopy in the Cathedral at Mallorca.




The Guel Park was originally produced for the resident use, however, the design of houses and monuments were so advanced and unique that no one lived there except Earl Guell and Gaudi.  
So, it was donated to Barcelona city as the Park Guell after Earl Guell passed away.






The picture below is Casa Mila, the apartment for Mr. Mila, located in the center of Barcelona.
It is said that this building has no straight lines and that people at that time had negative feelings because of the unique design, then it was called "La Pedrera" (a quarry in English).
Nowadays, it is the museum of Gaudi's architecture.
















The last Gaudi's works I visited and saw were the Sacred Canopy and the stained glass in the Cathedral in Mallorca.  This Cathedral is famous with the night view as well.
