The most famous works of Antonio Gaudi

The most outstanding Spanish architect of the XIX-XX centuries can rightly be called Antonio Gaudi. The master is the creator of his own unique style based on modernity. During his life, Gaudi has implemented 18 architectural projects, seven of which are currently included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Its most famous buildings are located in Barcelona. The Palace of Guell, the Park of Guell, the House of Baglio, the House of Mila and the Spaniard's life's work — the Redemptive Temple of the Sagrada Familia — this is an incomplete list of Gaudi's masterpieces. By the way, the last one has not been completed yet! During his lifetime, the architect spent 40 years on it, and according to the plan, the construction of the temple will be completed only in 2026.
