L'Eixample is smack bang in the middle of Barcelona. Its grid patterned streets are host to a number of striking buildings and fantastic architecture, especially around the area around Passeig de Gracia and La Ramblas. Here you will also find the extraordinary Sagrada Familia. This controversial church, unfinished because of the untimely death of its architect, Antoni Gaudí, in 1926, has become the city's most visited monument. A perfect area for visitors looking to explore the city, L’Eixample has brilliant transport links and there is always plenty to see and do. Check out Oh-Barcelona's L'Eixample apartments.

Homenatge a Joan Brossa.

 

El Colegio de Aparejadores y Arquitectos Técnicos de Barcelona, convocaron un concurso de arte urbano para homenajear al poeta Joan Brossa i Cuervo (1919-1998), autor de las coloridas letras y la langosta que decoran la fachada de su sede principal en Barcelona.

 

Los ganadores, la aparejadora Carme de la Calzada y el artista Jaume Barrera, propusieron un conjunto de piedras que con brotes de agua y luz hacen un juego de arte precioso. La obra es se aprecia mejor al final del día, y en verano el salpicado del agua genera una frescura agradable por la calle.

I have been wanting to visit this church since I was 17 and read about it in a Spanish textbook in High School. It felt so strange to finally be there...it did not disappoint. We took an elevator up on of the spires, crossed a small bridge to another spire and then walked all the way down that spire to the ground level through a very tiny spiral staircase. This place is insanely tall and my legs started shaking on the way down, probably both from the sheer awesomeness of it all and from overexertion!

Font de la Granota.

Josep Campeny Santamaria, Igualada (Anoia)

1911

 

La base esta feta amb pedra de Montjuïc, que serveix també de pica, i una escultura de bronze que representa un nen subjectant una granota, amb la granota fent d'aixeta. Està realitzada en un estil naturalista, molt realista en l'anatomia i dinàmic en l'expressió.

 

Va ser restaurada completament el Gener del 2010 degut a un accident l'octubre del 2009 amb una grua d'un equip de filmació que va enderrocar la part superior que va danyar la pedra i l'escultura també. La companyia d' assegurances va pagar per la restauració.

 

-------

 

The base is made from stone quarried from Montjuïc, which serves as sink and has a bronze sculpture that represents a kid holding a frog, with the frog serving as the spigot. It's made in a naturalist style, with very realistic anatomy and movement and a very expressive pose.

 

It was completely restored in January 2010 due to an accident with a film crew in October 2009, which threw the top part to the ground damaging the stone and sculpture itself. The insurance company paid for the damages.

Fue restaurada completamente en enero del 2010 debido a un accidente con un equipo de filmación que derribó la parte superior dañando la piedra y la escultura. La compañía de seguros pago por la restauración.

Em fa molta pena quan veig que enderroquen edificis a l'Eixample.

The Basílica de la Sagrada Família, Basilica of the Holy Family'), also known as the Sagrada Família, is a large unfinished Roman Catholic minor basilica in the Eixample district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Designed by Spanish/Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926), his work on the building is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On 7 November 2010, Pope Benedict XVI consecrated the church and proclaimed it a minor basilica.

 

On 19 March 1882, construction of the Sagrada Família began under architect Francisco de Paula del Villar. In 1883, when Villar resigned, Gaudí took over as chief architect, transforming the project with his architectural and engineering style, combining Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms. Gaudí devoted the remainder of his life to the project, and he is buried in the crypt. At the time of his death in 1926, less than a quarter of the project was complete.

 

Relying solely on private donations, the Sagrada Família's construction progressed slowly and was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War. In July 1936, revolutionaries set fire to the crypt and broke their way into the workshop, partially destroying Gaudí's original plans, drawings and plaster models, which led to 16 years of work to piece together the fragments of the master model. Construction resumed to intermittent progress in the 1950s. Advancements in technologies such as computer aided design and computerised numerical control (CNC) have since enabled faster progress and construction passed the midpoint in 2010. However, some of the project's greatest challenges remain, including the construction of ten more spires, each symbolising an important Biblical figure in the New Testament. It is anticipated that the building can be completed by 2026, the centenary of Gaudí's death.

 

The basilica has a long history of splitting opinion among the residents 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 2007 proposal to build a tunnel of Spain's high-speed rail link to France which could disturb its stability. Describing the 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 describes it as "the most extraordinary personal interpretation of Gothic architecture since the Middle Ages". The basilica is not the cathedral church of the Archdiocese of Barcelona, as that title belongs to the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia.
