About
The Güell Pavilions in Barcelona, Spain, are an extraordinary example of the work of renowned architect Antoni Gaudí. Commissioned by Eusebi Güell, the pavilions were constructed between 1884 and 1887 and originally served as the gatehouses and stables for the Güell estate. The complex is famous for its ornate design, featuring vibrant ceramic tiles, intricate wrought ironwork, and Gaudí's characteristic organic forms. One of the most notable elements is the striking dragon gate, which not only serves as a functional entrance but also symbolizes the mythical dragon from the legend of Saint George, a recurring theme in Gaudí's work.
