Detalle minarete.
En 1883, Máximo Díaz de Quijano (cuya hermana era cuñada de Antonio López y López, primer marqués de Comillas, y, como él, indiano enriquecido en América) encargó a Gaudí la ejecución de un chalet de veraneo junto al palacio de Sobrellano del marqués, en la localidad cántabra de Comillas: El Capricho.
Edificio Gaudí is a 48 m high residential building in Málaga. Designed by Antonio García Garrido and built in 1977, the building is supposed to resemble the famous works of Antonio Gaudí.
The house conserves both the memory of Gaudí and many examples of furniture and other objects that he designed. Crucial to forming an idea of how the great Catalan architect worked, these works also illustrate the craft production system in Catalonia during the Art Nouveau period.
The original purpose of the building – that of acting as a “show house” for Park Güell – gives the site added value. Although it is a public space today, Park Güell, one of Gaudí’s major undertakings, was originally planned as a private residential area.
