Casa Vicens!
Casa Vicens
After class, Michelle and I visited Casa Vicens. Casa Vicens is another house designed by none other than, Antoni Gaudí located in the Gràcia district of Barcelona. Built for Manuel Vicens during 1883-1889, it's known to be one of Gaudí's first important work. The house is made out of stone, red bricks, and colored ceramic tiles in checkerboard and floral patterns. I spotted the beautiful house a block away, I automatically saw Gaudí’s name written all over it, it’s simply amazing. Since Casa Vicens is a private residence, it cannot be visited but I can only imagine the interior.
