Font Wallace

 

Font de ferro colat amb quatre cariàtides femenines, cobertes amb un lleuger drapejat, que sostenen una cúpula amb quatre peixos. Aquesta font va ser dissenyada el 1872 per l’escultor francès Charles A. Lebourg per encàrrec del filantrop milionari anglès Sir Richard Wallace, que volia una font que simbolitzés la fraternitat universal dels homes. Wallace va encarregar-ne centenars de còpies, que va anar regalant a les principals ciutats. A Barcelona, amb motiu de l’Exposició Universal de 1888, n’hi van tocar dotze, de les quals només en queden dues d’originals en llocs visibles, una a la Rambla, davant del Museu de Cera, i l’altra a Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes - Passeig de Gràcia.

Wallace Fountain

 

Cast iron fountain with four female caryatids, covered with a light cloth, supporting a dome with old style fish. This fountain was designed in 1872 by the French sculptor Charles A. Lebourg commissioned by English millionaire philanthropist Sir Richard Wallace, who wanted a fountain that symbolizes universal brotherhood of man. Wallace ordered out hundreds of copies, which were given to the main cities. In Barcelona, during the Universal Exhibition of 1888, there were twelve placed, of which there are only two originals in conspicuous places, one on Las Ramblas, in front of the Wax Museum, and the other at Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes - Passeig de Gracia.

Eixample is the "new city" in Barcelona. Meaning "the expansion," it's the part of Barcelona designed in the late 18th and early 19th century just north of the Old City. Its streets are very orderly -- a square grid -- with a few diagonal avenues running through it.

 

You'll primarily find 5-6 story buildings where the ground floor is commercial (restaurants, markets, bodegas, etc.) and all the upper floors are residential. At each intersection, all the corners are slightly recessed to form a small circle.

 

From street level, you'll notice the balconies, mostly wrought-iron or of a uniform color. If you can find a way to see an aerial view of Eixample, you'll definitely see how square and orderly the street layout is.

Portique luxueux et raffiné d'un immeuble cossu de l'Eixample. On n'a pas vu Barcelone si on ne s'est pas promené dans les rues de ce quartier où les demeures de la bourgeoisie montante de la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle rivalisent d'élégance, d'originalité et parfois d'extravagance.

Òmnium Eixample hem anat amb 5 autocars i 270 persones a la presó de Lledoners per donar el nostre suport a 7 valents i 2 valentes que estan injustament tancats per defensar el nostre dret a votar i a manifestar-nos. També per tots aquells que s'han vist forçat a marxar del país per assegurar-se un judici just i pels centenars de persones perseguides per la injustícia espanyola.

Però la ràbia, la por, el desencís, el cansament, la tristesa i la frustració s'han acabat. Ja n'hi ha prou de llepar-nos les ferides. Convertim aquest judici contra la democràcia en un àtac a aquest estat espanyol que vulnera els drets de tots.

Farem d'altaveu de les paraules dels presos i la veritat i la dignitat ho inundaran tot.

La Sagrada Família, Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família de son nom complet en catalan, ou Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia en espagnol (en français : « temple expiatoire de la Sainte Famille »), est une basilique mineure1 catholique de Barcelone érigée à partir de 1882.

 

C’est l’un des exemples les plus connus du modernisme catalan et un monument emblématique de la ville. Œuvre inachevée de l’architecte catalan Antoni Gaudí, la Sagrada Família est située dans le quartier du même nom (district de l’Eixample). L’architecte a conçu une minutieuse symbologie qui fait de cet édifice un poème mystique. Il a également fait preuve de grandes audaces de construction formelle, telles la manière de concevoir la structure d’arc paraboliquenote ou la combinaison des traitements sculpturaux naturalistes et de l’abstraction des tours. Selon les données de l’année 2004, la Sagrada Família est le monument le plus visité d’Espagne, dépassant l’Alhambra de Grenade et le musée du Prado à Madrid : en 2008, elle a attiré plus de 2,7 millions de visiteurs. L’œuvre réalisée du vivant d’Antoni Gaudí, la crypte et la façade de la Nativité, a été déclarée patrimoine de l’humanité par l’Unesco en 20054.

 

Puisqu'il s'agit d’un temple expiatoire, les travaux sont exclusivement financés grâce à l’aumône. En conséquence, il n’a pas été possible de construire simultanément les différentes parties du monument lorsqu’il l’eût fallu, mais depuis les années 1990, l’affluence de visiteurs et le renom mondial de l’œuvre ont fait évoluer la situation économique.

 

Le siège de l’archevêché de Barcelone est la cathédrale Sainte-Eulalie, édifice construit à l’époque médiévale et situé au cœur du quartier gothique.

 

The Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família (Catalan pronunciation: [səˈɣɾaðə fəˈmiɫiə]; English: Basilica and Expiatory Church of the Holy Family), is a large Roman Catholic church in Barcelona, Spain, designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926). Although incomplete, the church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and in November 2010 Pope Benedict XVI consecrated and proclaimed it a minor basilica, as distinct from a cathedral which must be the seat of a bishop. Construction of Sagrada Família had commenced in 1882, Gaudí became involved in 1883, taking over the project and transforming it with his architectural and engineering style, combining Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms. Gaudí devoted his last years to the project, and at the time of his death at age 73 in 1926 less than a quarter of the project was complete. Sagrada Família's construction progressed slowly, as it relied on private donations and was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War, only to resume intermittent progress in the 1950s. Construction passed the midpoint in 2010 with some of the project's greatest challenges remaining and an anticipated completion date of 2026, the centenary of Gaudí's death.

 

The basílica has a long history of dividing the citizens of Barcelona: over the initial possibility it might compete with Barcelona's cathedral, over Gaudí's design itself, over the possibility that work after Gaudí's death disregarded his design, and the recent proposal to build an underground tunnel of Spain's high-speed rail link to France which could disturb its stability.

 

Describing Sagrada Família, art critic Rainer Zerbst said, "It is probably impossible to find a church building anything like it in the entire history of art" and Paul Goldberger called it, "The most extraordinary personal interpretation of Gothic architecture since the Middle Ages
