Pulling "Teeth" in the Warm Sun in Winter (35) Barcelona: The Flower of Europe Created by Gaudi (Part Two)

Gaudi's dream world has become a reality here. Countless young people with artistic dreams have set foot on this land to pursue their own artist dreams. Whether it is painting or architecture, there are too many masters here. Long-standing, modern, and many about to become famous, as long as you have been to Barcelona, no one will question why there are so many masters of art here. Barcelona brought many people here and never left.

I was deeply attracted by the movie "vicky cristina barcelona", whether it was the Spanish guitar in the courtyard under the moonlight at night or all kinds of flowers on Rambla Avenue, from the young men and women in love on the painted porcelain benches in Gouel Park to the flickering light of the sunset through the stone promenade, the romantic and lazy atmosphere was everywhere. So, we started a trip to Barcelona, and planned to measure the dream world created by Gaudi with our steps.

Barcelona is really the capital of art, and even beside the cathedral, the works of masters can be seen everywhere. Have you guessed? This is a door with a sense of design. It is said that it was written by Gaudi.

not far from the cathedral, there is a tall modern building with glass curtain wall, COAC Building of Catalonia Architects' Guild. The simple mural on the outer wall of the building is particularly eye-catching.

It is said that this simple mural was written by Picasso. But to be honest, I don't understand Picasso's paintings, and I can't see any difference from the paintings of kindergarten children.

It is said that the French are romantic, but after I came to Barcelona, I was infected by the romance of the Spanish. Unlike the French, the romance of the Spanish is more enthusiastic and intense. At the end of an alley behind the architect building, there is a mosaic wall. From a distance, the whole wall is four lips kissing.

From a distance, this wall shows two people kissing, with particularly sexy lips and perfect kissing. A closer look reveals that the big pattern of kissing is made up of countless small photos, which are everyday and ordinary photos taken by Barcelona citizens. This contrast from near to far is very surprising and special.

This wall was built to commemorate the Battle of Barcelona in 1714. The artist collected photos from the public, and finally made the wall with 4,8 different photos in red and pink. The romance of Barcelona people is very special. The way to commemorate the war is not a monument to heroes, but a kissing wall.

We continue to stroll in the old city. Not far away, an interesting human face sculpture stands on the roadside. It is carved from a flat stone and is called "a head". Using people's visual illusion, it looks like a three-dimensional head from a distance. What interests me most is that he is dragging a big braid.

In the alley behind "A Head", I accidentally saw a small dome with Arabic customs and rushed over involuntarily. What a beautiful building!

Palau de la Música Catalana, the music palace of Catalonia, was built in 195-198, which is one of the shocking modernist buildings in Barcelona.

The outer wall of the Music Palace is decorated with group sculptures created according to folk songs, which include traditional Catalan elements and Arabic elements. It is colorful and eye-catching.

This is the masterpiece of Mondanel, Gaudi's teacher and master of modernist architecture, a masterpiece of modernism with a history of one hundred years.

It's hard to imagine that such an architectural treasure is hidden deep in an alley in a very crowded block in the old city of Barcelona. The narrow lane in front of the Music Palace can only accommodate the next car, and it is difficult to take a full picture of it even with a wide angle.

The bottom floor of the Music Palace is an arcade supported by huge columns, with bright colors such as red, yellow, green and sky blue as the main colors, and a crown badge is carved on the top of the central colonnade.

The pillars are densely covered with colorful flower patterns made of mosaics.

The round hole on the colonnade surrounded by mosaic patterns is actually the ticket window of the Music Palace, which is very cute and quite childlike.

If you want to visit this magical concert hall, you can only take part in seven tours every day from 9: to 15: 3 from Monday to Friday, and visit according to the prescribed route under the guidance of official interpreters. The languages to be explained are Catalan, Spanish, French, English and Italian, and one is replaced every half hour, with English being the most.

unfortunately, the day we went was Sunday, and there was no visiting group. If we want to enter, we can only buy tickets for the evening performance. We had to give up reluctantly.

The main entrance of the Music Palace is a slightly curved square arch made of red bricks and decorated with relief, which is colorful and exquisite.

columns covered with mosaic puzzles, huge group carvings and bright and delicate murals make the whole building look like flowers.

The second floor of the Music Palace is a semi-open balcony with a row of Aquarius column guardrails, which is beautiful. The upper end of the style supports three peacock-screen-shaped balconies. Mosaic puzzles and paintings are everywhere, and the whole building is like a delicate work of art.

colorful sculptures and ceramic mosaics are the most prominent features here. There are 14 flower columns on the balcony on the second floor, and each column is decorated with different flower patterns composed of mosaics.

the top of the column is decorated with flower-shaped stigma, such as blooming flowers. It is said that there are 3, roses hidden here, which are scattered on the roof, wall posts and glass, just like a performer's secret garden.

Busts of three great composers, Wagner, Bach and Beethoven, are hung outside the three-story balcony.

On the third terrace, there is a modern song-and-dance theme mural made up of mosaics, which suddenly reminds me that this was originally the base camp of Barcelona Choir.

We tried to lean back and try to get the whole Music Palace into the camera. On a pillar at the intersection of the two fa? ades of the concert hall, a group of grand reliefs based on Catalan folk songs and fables are strikingly carved. This group of sculptures broke through the limitation of narrow terrain, emphasized the existence of the main entrance, and highlighted the beauty and elegance of the facade of the Music Palace.

The red brick facade, style, relief, painting and mosaic collage not only collide and interweave visually, but also combine the architectural style of Spanish elements and Arabic elements, making the whole building an unconventional work of art..

The coffee shop in the foyer is the only place where you can enter the Music Palace for free. The ceiling in the hall is luxuriously decorated, but the pillars made of red bricks are so simple and pure.

The coffee shop is the meeting place and the dissolution place for visitors. Compared with the external decoration, the coffee shop of the concert hall is decorated with many exquisite and colorful decorations: marble columns, ceilings decorated with exquisite mosaic stickers and geometric relief graphics, colorful large glass partitions, antique classical lamp posts ...

Besides coffee, there are some delicious snacks here for people to kill time while waiting for a visit or enjoying a concert.

seeing the columns full of flowers again makes us feel like we have entered a cafe full of flowers in an instant.

Four Cats Cafe is located deep in a narrow lane nearby. It is a gathering place for many artists and intellectuals. Picasso, Dali, Miro and Gaudi were all frequent visitors here. Picasso also made posters for four cats, which later became the cover of today's restaurant menu.

In order to enjoy the free time, we decided to arrive at Parque Güell in Gouel Park before the evening, passing through Parque de la Ciutadella, the largest green lung in Barcelona.

There is a straight road between Castle Park and Arc de Triomf, with neat palm trees and unique street lamps on both sides. On the way, we were also pleasantly surprised to find a map of this area painted on the road.

The magnificent building on one side of the street is the Barcelona court.

The Arc de Triomphe in Barcelona, built as the main entrance of the 1888 World Expo, is a Moorish revival style building built with strong red bricks. The gold carving is antique and isolated, so it looks particularly eye-catching and spectacular.

All the sculptures on the Arc de Triomphe are white, which is in sharp contrast with the red of the main body. The front lintel is engraved with "Barcelona rep les nacions" (Barcelona welcomes all countries); The stone carving of the lintel on the back is called "recompense"; The Arc de Triomphe has 12 female statues, which represent honor and prestige; The top is decorated with the provincial emblems of 49 other Spanish provinces.

In Europe, many cities have their own Arc de Triomphe, but the Arc de Triomphe in Barcelona is rigorous and romantic, especially the red Arc de Triomphe is rare and unique.

The Arc de Triomphe in Barcelona is more magnificent than the Arc de Triomphe in Constantinople in Rome. Near the evening, the area around the Arc de Triomphe in Castle Park is a good place for running and walking.

after a bus ride, we finally arrived at Gouel Park Parque Güell, a paradise designed by Gaudi, which I miss so much.

stepping into the gate of the park is like entering another world. On the uneven terrain, Gaudi designed a unique corridor, which was built between the mountains and forests.

Gaudi succeeded in organically combining nature and architecture into a perfect whole, which was made of local uncut brown rocks. The structure was complex, but it had a primitive style, and the artistic interest and architectural style were brought into full play.

none of the pillars of the corridor are straight, just like the trunk of a natural forest. The shapes are basically taken from animals and plants, some are like elephant legs, some are like palm trees, and some are human figures. The materials of these pillars are all made of local stone, which looks rough and simple, but it looks like nature.

Gouel Park, an open space facing the sea, is a masterpiece of Master Gaudi. It used to be just a bare hill. From 19 to 1914, Gaudi splashed and splashed ink freely on this colorless canvas, which made this "bald mountain" glow with infinite vitality.

This small pink building, slightly off the main road and hidden among trees, is now a Gaudi Museum. Although it was designed by Gaudi's apprentice, it fully embodies Gaudi's classic elements. Coupled with the setting off of the sunset glow that day, it is like a fairy tale world that falls on earth.

Along the mountain road, we came to the Grand Platform Square, where we saw many benches, which were inlaid with colorful broken porcelain, winding like dancing dragons and undulating waves, forming a poetic artistic conception.

A winding bench made of stone, with mosaic fragments on the surface, is rich in patterns and details, and has implied meanings. Here, whether it is the spatial form or the light and shadow color, from the whole to the details, it is full of interest and beauty, which surprises people everywhere.

The edge of the big platform is my favorite, and it can be called the mobile mosaic bench with the longest length in the world. Colorful flowing benches, in addition to creating a rich visual experience, are full of comfort when sitting or lying here.

when we come to the city of Gaudi, we will always be moved inadvertently. Walking on the road here and looking at these colorful colors along the way give us a visual enjoyment. Strolling through it is like walking in a colorful fairy tale world.

The mosaic bench also serves as the fence of the square. As we approached the backrest of the winding bench step by step, we couldn't help feeling like a pilgrimage. The blue and white cartoon tower came into view first.

Under the blue and white tower, there is a more cartoon gingerbread house. On the roof, there is a little red riding hood, surrounded by many small towers and protrusions, and the circular window under the spire is inlaid with Gaudi's iconic cross.

When two concierges suddenly appeared in front of us, we knew that this was the main entrance of Gouel Park.

This concierge is definitely the most beautiful concierge in the world. The concierge is decorated with white wavy ceramics, which is particularly naughty and childlike under the blue sky and green trees. No wonder they are affectionately called "candy houses".

It's like a house out of a fairy tale, like a gingerbread house covered with cream and covered with bright glaze. Seeing this lovely house, I want to open my eyes and walk into this fantastic concierge with the spirit of adventure.

Under the blue-purple sunset glow, colorful Gouel appears in front of us, which is not only a miracle created by Gaudi, an immortal utopia, but also a playground dedicated to God!

there are many surprises here. At the moment, the park is like a fairy tale world that is about to fall asleep, and it is like a giant work of art hanging in the air.

Gaudi combines architectural sculptures, leisure squares, road corridors, public facilities and natural environment with local materials, presenting a beautiful urban space.

As the sky was getting dark, we greedily looked out again and crossed the clouds in Barcelona. Those dense and colorful buildings stood far away under the blue sea and blue sky .......

We sat on the lights from the evening. The tourists who come here, like us, can't bear to leave for a long time.

Barcelona is the son of the sea, and water is an important element in Barcelona's architectural design. Therefore, it is as soft and quiet as the sea against the blue-purple sky.

Reluctantly, we went down the road to a Baizhu Hall with 86 stone pillars. Such a dense and regular array of columns is like a forest, and the top construction of the columns is spectacular, and the bumps are like the ceiling of clouds and waves.

The top of the Baizhu Hall is beautifully designed, all decorated with mosaic patterns. Looking up, it gives people a sense of visual shock.

Below the Baizhu Hall is the famous colorful lizard steps. Here, you can clearly see the exquisite dome at the top of the colonnade, which fluctuates like waves.

This is the most famous colorful lizard fountain in Gouel Park. Fountain is composed of lizard and chameleon, and its surface is made of mosaic tiles, with bright color and vivid shape. Every time it rains heavily, lizards and chameleons will spew out running water from the Baizhu Hall, which is particularly vivid and lovely.

the "chameleon" representing the patron saint of Catalonia. What impressed me the most was its four feet, so hard, as if afraid of falling.
