Güell
Palace and the casa Milà. Truly universal works in view of the
diverse cultural sources from which they are inspired, the creations
of Antonio Gaudy (1852-1926) in Barcelona represent an eclectic as well
as very personal architectural style which led to new styles, not only
as regards architectural style but also for gardens, sculpture and all
forms of decorative art.
Inscribed: 1984
Justification:

Gaudi's work.

art, notably through Picasso and Miró.
- It is an eminent and well-preserved example of the ideal garden cities
dreamed of by the urban developers of the end of the 19th century.
