Gaudi's Barcelona

Gaudi designed a huge number of buildings around Barcelona. They are everywhere and look like fairytale castles. He uses very unusual colours and shapes for all of them. Many of them are residential, but some are open to the public too. It's very strange to see them in a row of terraced buildings as they are so different to everything else.





He also designed this gate. It's not a great shot, taken from the top of a bus, but it's a gate in the shape of a dragon. Apparently when the gate is opening it moves by flapping it's wings or breahing fire or something.
