During Antoni Gaudi's time in Barcelona he left more than just a mark. His buildings, parks, houses and sculptures are permanent homages to his work and success. As an artist that was panned and highly criticised early on in his career, Gaudi is now a part of Spanish Catalonian history and will be forever. As i said before, the Sagrada Familia alone draws millions of visitors a year, it is being funded by this alone! Before my visit to Barcelona i knew nothing about Antoni Gaudi or his work, but after visiting, it is hard not to pick something up. His work epitimises my opinion of Barcelona - colourful, vibrant and memorable.
