Our last Barcelona field trip ever was spent visiting the industrial town of Colonia Guell. The city used to be a self-contained industrial commune but has since been modernized. Guadi was commissioned to design the community church which unfortunately was never finished.
Only the crypt was completed which remains to be one of the most beautiful in Barcelona and unique to the world. In typical Gaudi style, everything is inspired by nature in function and aesthetics and right angles are almost nonexistent.
beautiful! the second picture is great. i like the light coming in through the stained glass windows and projecting into the crypt.
