Antonio Gaudi (1852-1926) was born in Caledonia, Spain and was trained as an architect. His residential and religious buildings are known for their complex shapes, intricate and colorful decoration and daring structural innovation. Park Guell, commissioned in 1900 by Gaudi's lifelong patron, Eusebio Guell, was the the architect's unique venture into urban design. The Garden City included 60 potential building lots and an assortment of park structures that conformed to the topography of the Barcelona hillside. Only three residences were completed: two gate lodges and a house in which Gaudi lived until 1925. After Eusebio Guell's death, the property was transferred to municipal ownership for use as a public park.
