Bellesguard is much more than a Gaud\u00ed building. Before him, there are centuries of history. The current work, in fact, pays tribute to this legacy, both for the neo-Gothic style of the tower and for the symbols that adorn it. For this reason, at the two entrances of the property, the garden and the house, we can see a series of numbers that connect the past with the present, in Gaud\u00ed’s time.<\/span><\/p>\n

MCCCIX \u2013 MCMIX<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first point of the visit focuses on a shield, located above the door of the ruins of the ancient palace of Mart\u00ed I the Humane<\/a> (in reality, what we see is a personal restoration done by Gaud\u00ed). The first date, MCCCIX (1409), corresponds to the year the king moved to this palace. The second, MCMIX (1909), indicates the year Gaud\u00ed abandoned the construction of the current Tower.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From this shield, there is an interesting image, where we can see it in a corner of the Sagrada Familia workshop, before occupying its current location in Torre Bellesguard (A photo with surprise).<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

MCCCCX \u2013 MCMXVI<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the main facade of the tower, we can see a ceramic bench with three motifs made in mosaic. In the central part, there is no number, but at the ends, two dates appear. In the corner where the sun rises, the date is MCMXVI (1916), which recalls the year in which a collaborator of Gaud\u00ed finished Torre Bellesguard. We refer to Dom\u00e8nec Sugra\u00f1es<\/a>, responsible for the iron door of the entrance, the ceramic benches of the garden, and the interior decorations of the lobby, including its impressive lamp.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other corner of the bench, the one to the west, the date is MCCCX (1410), the year Mart\u00ed I the Humane died, a tragedy that marks the beginning of the gradual abandonment of the palace, until only a few ruins remain. Thanks to them, Gaud\u00ed will find the inspiration to build the current Torre Bellesguard, in collaboration, as we have already said, with his friend and collaborator Dom\u00e8nec Sugra\u00f1es.<\/span><\/p>\n
