Dried fruit at the Boqueria market in Barcelona, Spain. The beautiful stalls of the most famous covered market in Barcelona are always very beautiful to see and to photograph. This was one of the several stalls that sell (but the photo is not exactly recent) dried fruit and you can recognize some of them: banana, apricot, strawberry, kiwi and other fruit that I don't recognize.

Gaudí's Masterpiece in Barcelona: Casa Batlló. Welcome to the heart of Catalan modernist art, where the genius of Antoni Gaudí comes to life in an unparalleled architectural masterpiece: Casa Batlló. Located on the famous Passeig de Gràcia, this extraordinary home is a celebration of imagination and creativity, embodying Gaudí's visionary genius. Casa Batlló is known for its fairytale façade, a fusion of bright colors and organic shapes that capture the attention of anyone walking along the street. The wavy columns, sinuous balconies and elaborate windows transform the façade into a dynamic work of art, which almost seems to breathe. Once inside, visitors are greeted by an equally extraordinary interior. Gaudí transformed every detail into an element of art: from the curved and sinuous ceilings to the colorful mosaics that decorate the walls. The Catalan architect skillfully combined organic forms with functionality, creating a one-of-a-kind living experience. In addition to being a private home, Casa Batlló also serves as a museum that offers a deep dive into modernist art and Gaudí’s eclectic talent. Visitors can explore the different rooms, admire the furniture designed by the architect himself, and discover the secrets behind the conception of this architectural marvel. Casa Batlló is more than a building; it is an emotional journey through the golden age of modernist architecture. Gaudí left his indelible mark, transforming a bourgeois house into a symphony of colors, shapes, and structural innovations. An unforgettable experience that unites the past and the present in a fascinating embrace.
If you ever find yourself in Barcelona, don't miss the opportunity to explore Casa Batlló, a place where Gaudí's imagination comes to life and continues to inspire generations of art lovers. Add a comment or go to the bottom of the site to read what other visitors have written.
In 1904, Batlló, a high-ranking industrialist in the textile sector, commissioned Gaudí to renovate a modest building he had purchased the previous year on Passeig de Sheher, the main artery of the modernist Eixample district, an area chosen by the Catalan bourgeoisie of the time as the site of their spectacular buildings. The original construction was a very narrow and elongated space with a rectangular shape, which certainly represented a challenge for the Catalan architect. Continue and learn more on Wikipedia

Where is the cathedral located:
The Passion façade was begun in 1954 according to the drawings and explanations that Gaudí had left. The towers were finished in 1976 and since then work has been carried out on the sculptural decoration. Gaudí designed this façade while recovering from Malta fever in Puigcerdà in 1911. Dedicated to the Passion of Jesus, it aims to reflect the suffering of Christ in his crucifixion, as a ransom for the sins of men. Continue and learn more on Wikipedia

Una delle gallerie del Parco Guell a Barcellona. Era moltissimo tempo che volevo visitare questa famosa attrazione di Barcellona e finalmente, lo scorso anno, sono riuscito ad andarvi. Quello che impressiona, sono le forme che l’architetto Antoni Gaudì ha ideato e applicato in questo visionario progetto architettonico. Come in questa galleria dalle forme arrotondate che ricordano tanto un’onda del mare.

Una statua di San Giorgio ed il drago a Barcellona. Sul retro del palazzo della la Generalitat de Catalunya c’è questa bella decorazione gotica che immortala San Giorgio a cavallo che sconfigge il drago. A dire la verità la statua è un poco rimaneggiata (manca la lancia ed il drago è quasi irriconoscibile) ma ha sempre un aspetto fiero. Mi piace moltissimo fotografare monumenti dedicati a questo Santo, così amato anche in Liguria.

Dove si trova la statua:
Si narra che in una città chiamata Silena, in Libia, vi fosse un grande stagno, tale da poter nascondere un drago, che, avvicinandosi alla città, uccideva con il fiato tutte le persone che incontrava. Gli abitanti gli offrivano per placarlo due pecore al giorno ma, quando queste cominciarono a scarseggiare, furono costretti a offrirgli una pecora e un giovane tirato a sorte.

L’architettura di Barcellona tra antico e moderno. Quasi tutte le volte che percorro la Rambla di Barcellona mi trovo sempre a guardare questo scorcio che mi impressiona per il contrasto tra il moderno di questo palazzo e il campanile della basilica di Santa María del Pi. Un bel contrasto, no?

La Rambla is one of the most emblematic places in the city, very popular all year round with both tourists and locals, and has different names in its different sections, which is why it is sometimes called in the plural Les Rambles in Catalan and Las Ramblas in Castilian. The word rambla comes from the Arabic raml (sand) and designates, as in other Spanish cities, a street created from a dry, buried or covered watercourse. Continue and learn more on Wikipedia

La statua di San Giacomo a cavallo a Barcellona. Arrivato in una delle piazze più importanti, amministrativamente parlado, di Barcellona ho fotografato questa bella statua di San Giacomo (che in catalano si chiana Sant Jaume). Leggo in rete che la statua è stata scolpita dallo scultore Manuel Fuxà nel 1902 per decorare il palazzo della Caixa d’Estalvis i Mont de Pietat.

Dei bei palazzi sulla Rambla di Barcellona. A me piace percorrere questa via di Barcellona e soffermarmi a guardare (e fotografare) i palazzi che si affacciano su di essa. Ne scopro sempre qualcuno nuovo (ma magari li ho già visti e non me lo ricordo, ah ah) e ne apprezzo la classe e le decorazioni mai banali.
