Spain: Part 2- Architecture

Hi! Back for Part 2? Well, it's architecture. As in, buildings and such. 

         



                                           

            
 The inside of the building is littered by columns supporting the ceiling in a very grand style. It might not look like it, but they're really big. And you're really small. Like an ant.


         
In the very front of the church lies and organ. It was unoccupied  when we went there. But then again , we only stayed for the last half hour before it closed.
         
The inside is surrounded by stain-glass windows, and the space is bright and airy.

           
These drawings lie on the top of the pillars. I'm not sure what they are, but I think they're pretty interesting because the edge is the only part that's bright.
                                     

                                     

Subirachs' square is right outside the front entrance and the numbers all add up to 33, regardless of which way your going.
                                     

 
Know as Casa Mila, this is another of Gaudi's works.


   
Casa Batllo was restored by Gaudi and his assistants, and the goal of the designer was to completely avoid any straight lines. He succeded, making the balconies shaped like ball gown masks. The Building is covered in mosaic tiling (Gaudi sure liked his mosaic, huh?)

        
The next few pictures aren't Gaudi, I'm pretty sure. They're just some cool buildings we found on the side of the road.

                               


                                          


                                         

        
We visited the Arc de Triomf on a lazy day; just walking around and we stopped  for a few minutes by the Arc.
                                          


Well, I think that covers it for today. Tommorow will be the last part - food! We all love food, am I right?
There will also be pictures of Miscellaneous. Be sure to come back tomorrow, but for now... what's your favorite movie?
