Gaudi was a famed architect and a great exponent of Catalan
Modernism and today, his houses and works are destinations for many travelers
to Barcelona. His work has come to symbolize what make Catalonia different from
the rest of Spain. Early in his career, he was influenced by the neo-gothic
movement. His later work, however, reflected his love of nature and his religious
beliefs. Seven of his designs have been designated UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Gaudi died after being struck by a streetcar in 1926, while
undertaking his most famous and ambitious project, the Basilica La Sagrada
Familia.
