Casa Vicens (Barcelona, ​​Spain)

#HotPlacesOverseas Casa Vicens is the first work of architect Antoni Gaudi in Barcelona, ​​Spain, and is a mansion characterized by its mosaic tiles and unique design. It was once a private residence, but was opened to the public in 2017 and has become a popular tourist attraction. Although it was created before Gaudi's architectural style was established, the colorful tile decorations and design that makes extensive use of curves are already outstanding, and elements that lead to the later Sagrada Familia and Casa Batlló can be seen everywhere. In particular, the beautiful courtyard and lush garden area are popular as photogenic spots. In the exhibitions inside the building, you can learn about Gaudi's architectural ideas and the lifestyle of the time. It is a great place to visit as the first step of a tour of Gaudi's architecture in Barcelona.
