UNESCO - Antoni Gaud￭, Crypt at the Colonia Gell Postcard

UNESCO WHS Serie - World Heritage Sites in Spain Works of Antoni Gaudí / Obras de Antoni Gaudí Seven properties built by the architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926) in or near Barcelona testify to Gaudí’s exceptional creative contribution to the development of architecture and building technology in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These monuments represent an eclectic, as well as a very personal, style which was given free reign in the design of gardens, sculpture and all decorative arts, as well as architecture. The Church of Colonia Güell is an unfinished work by Antoni Gaudí. It was built as a place of worship for the people on a hillside in a manufacturing suburb in Santa Coloma de Cervelló, near Barcelona. The crypt portion of the church, constructed from 1908 to 1915, was the only segment of the church that was fully completed.
