Architecture: Antoni Gaudí, the Great Catalan Architect. "Modernism"

Details

It seems sometimes Barcelona is becoming an Architecture park for tourists. And one of the main reasons for this is the incredible Work of Art built by a genial Universal Catalan Architect: Antoni Gaudí...and his "drunk Art" (Unamuno dixit).
In Gaudí's times, Barcelona was called "la Rosa de Foc" ("Fire Rose") cos of its mixture of Cultural Creation, Political Activism and New Waves.
