Casa Vicens
Casa Vicens is a house designed by Antoni Gaudí, now a museum. It is considered one of the first buildings of Art Nouveau.
The style of Casa Vicens is a reflection of Neo-Mudéjar architecture, one of the popular styles that can be seen throughout Gaudí's architecture, including oriental and neoclassical as well.
However, what was unique about Gaudí was that he mixed different styles together and incorporated a variety of different materials, such as iron, glass, ceramic tiles and concrete, many of which can be seen in this building.
