Puerta de Gaudí

The Puerta de Gaudí is a life-size bronze sculpture by the Catalan artist Joaquim Camps, created in Barcelona in 1999. It honors the famous Modernist architect Antoni Gaudí and stands in front of the Portal Miralles, a work Gaudí completed in 1901, of which only the front façade on Paseo de Manuel Girona has survived. The realistic depiction was unveiled on November 13, 1999, in the presence of then-mayor Joan Clos. The sculpture had previously stood in front of the Sagrada Familia, where it received a church blessing. You can admire the figure as a central city landmark near this historic example of Gaudí's architecture.
