.Barcelona's Güell Palace (1885-1890) was one of the first works created by Antoni Gaudí Cornet, Catalonia's most universally-recognised architect (1852-1926). The work was commissioned by Barcelona industrialist Eusebi Güell Bacigalupi (1846-1918), who was a wealthy and well-educated man associated with the cultural renaissance (renaixença) that Catalonia was enjoying at the time. Güell would become Gaudi's best customer for more than thirty years, granting the architect full creative freedom. his book familiarizes the reader with the history f the palace and its main characters, essential for understanding the building's relationship with the social and cultural context in which it was designed and built. e book also leads visitors into the palace's most meaningful spaces, while providing essential written nd visual information for understanding the Building in the best possible way. üell Palace is one of the major architectural Works erected in Barcelona since the Gothic period, and represents a milestone in European architecture, since it opened up new paths in terms of spatial design and formal expression that would eventually leave their mark on the continent.
