Casa Vicens, 3: Models And More

Much of the rest of the house was devoted to an exhibit of its history and phases of development and also to a very smart exhibit of "first houses" by a number Gaudi's contemporaries...sort of a "who's who" of art nouveau and Modernista types. 

The house and grounds as done by Gaudi; the "waterfall" on the

The fullest extent of the property with St. Rita's chapel on the

Ample historical information; Wikipedia has one
of its fullest architectural articles on Casa Vicens
