World heritage stroll around Gaudí's Work

Gaudí’s first major commission

Casa Vicens is a family residence designed by Antoni Gaudí and built for industrialist Manuel Vicens. It is a unique oasis of calm with an Oriental and Moorish flavor and covered with spectacular green and white tiles. If you look beyond the decoration you’ll see the historicist Mudejar style as well as the forms which are Indian and Japanese in inspiration. It was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Works of Antoni Gaudí" in 2005.
