The Torre Bellesguard house was built between 1900 and 1909. For this project, Gaudí used a rectilinear approach, a method he had hardly put into practice before. He was inspired by a medieval castle belonging to Martin I of Aragon, known as Martin I the Humane, the last king of the Catalan dynasty. And when Antoni Gaudí got inspired, architectural magic soon followed. Explore the Modernist and Gothic styles that ended up inspiring some of the architectural solutions that Gaudí would apply to the Sagrada Familia.
