Guided tours at the Torre Bellesguard

Traductor de Google:

Architecture. A tour around the inside and outside of the castle designed by Gaudí.

The Torre Bellesguard offers guided tours of the inside and outside of this castle-like construction, built by Antoni Gaudí between 1900 and 1909 on the site of the former castle of Martin the Humane.

Gaudí designed the building with straight lines, unusual in his work, taking his inspiration from the medieval castle of Martin the Humane and adopting a style half way between Modernisme and Gothic, renovating the remains of the medieval palace which form part of the gardens on the property-

The history of the Bellesguard is intimately linked to the history of Catalonia, as many characters and historic events at the Bellesguard influenced and inspired Antoni Gaudí to create this architectural work.

La Torre Bellesguard fou construïda per Antoni Gaudí entre 1900 i 1909, amb unes formes rectes molt poc habituals a la seva obra, inspirades en el castell medieval de Martí I l´Humà, últim rei de la dinastia catalana del Casal de Barcelona, qui va viure a Bellesguard fins a la seva mort el 1410. Gaudí construeix un castell a mig camí entre el modernisme i el gòtic i restaura les restes del palau medieval que formen part dels jardins de la finca.La història de Bellesguard està íntimament lligada a la història de Catalunya. Són molts els personatges i els fets històrics que es produeixen a Bellesguard, els quals influencien i inspiren a Antoni Gaudí per a crear una de les seves obres més personals, simbòliques i fascinants.
