Monday Window Puzzle: a Brief Answer

I showed you three images on Monday.

- Yes, they're of a church.
- You should have stuck to your guns: they're the work of Antoni Gaudí.
- It's an early work of his, and unfinished.
- And it was built as the place of worship for the textile manufacturing area, just outside Barcelona, of  Santa Coloma de Cervelló .
- This community is now known as Colònia Güell. It's a worker's colony that was commissioned as a model town by Count Eusebi de Güell in 1898.

It’s a fascinating story and an interesting place. But telling it to you will have to wait till I’m back in England and have the time to do it justice. I’ll try to whet your appetite with just a few random images from the town.

  7. A sort of Spanish Port Sunlight then. I think I’m right that Park Güell was supposed to be an exclusive site for well of citizens of Barcelona but it didn’t quite go to plan which is why it was eventually sold to the city and turned into a public park.
