Do you know when the construction of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona began?
Over a century ago! Construction started in 1882 under the direction of Francesc de Paula Villar. Yes, it’s this architect who is credited with the original idea for the temple, although it was Antoni Gaudí who dedicated much of his career to bringing this idea to life.
Did you know Casa Vicens, Gaudí’s first house in Barcelona, is considered Antoni Gaudí’s first masterpiece?
Antoni Gaudí worked on the Casa Vicens project when he was just 31 years old! He built it as a summer residence for the Vicens family between 1883 and 1885.
In 2005, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and in 2017, it was converted into a museum after an almost three-year restoration costing 4.5 million euros.
