The first big commission of the famous Antonio Gaudí (1883-89г). Built of rough stone bricks and bright chessboard-like tiles, it is one of the first Gaudi's modernism works contrasted to eclecticism, which was en vogue at that time. Casa Vicens is still a private building and is closed to visitors – such a shame as Gaudí also designed some of its interiors.
