The Coolest Gaudi Building You've Never Heard Of
¡Buenos días chicos! In this episode, the Hispanophiles visit Bellesguard - a fortified royal house in Barcelona restored by Catalonian architect Antoni Gaudí who left subtle clues and details all around the building to honour the grand history of the House of Barcelona and the monarchs who built this place. But while other more famous Gaudí works are known for their colour and vibrance, Bellesguard is darker, more mysterious and has far more secrets.... But best of all, the visitors who are brave enough to climb to the rooftop come face to face with a recreation of the fearsome dragon slain by Saint George the patron saint of Barcelona!
Have you ever visited the Bellesguard house? How does it compare to Antoni Gaudí's other famous landmarks? Let us know in comments and thanks for listening!
