\"\"<\/p>\n

The Catalan identity of Antoni Gaud\u00ed is a key topic for understanding the architect\u2019s work, life, and legacy. However, it is not a subject that has been deeply studied or effectively disseminated. First of all, it\u2019s important to mention the lack of direct documents to study it, given the reserved nature of the architect, who never wanted to be part of any political party or engage in polemics through articles or lectures. As a result, few first-hand testimonies remain. Most are anecdotes and quotes referred by third parties, interpreted in very different ways.<\/p>\n

An Exceptional Interview<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the few direct testimonies is an interview given by the architect on August 9, 1917, just days after the death of Enric Prat de la Riba, the first president of the Commonwealth of Catalonia. The interview, however, was not published until December 15, 1919, the time needed to bypass censorship. Unfortunately, the magazine where the text appeared,\u00a0Vila-nova<\/em>, was a local publication with limited circulation (1). In it, Gaud\u00ed concludes by saying that Prat de la Riba\u2019s government had \u201cdemonstrated that Catalonia knew how to govern itself within the strictest scarcity of means of government (…) with constant inconveniences, obstacles, pressures from the central State” (see the full text: the interview with Gaud\u00ed<\/a>). Nevertheless, Gaud\u00ed\u2019s Catalan identity goes beyond this opinion, involving many other factors. The first of which is the historiography of its study.<\/p>\n

An Incomplete and Recent Topic<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gaud\u00ed\u2019s connection with Catalonia was so strong that his burial was a massive event, just as those of Jacint Verdaguer, Isaac Alb\u00e9niz, and \u00c0ngel Guimer\u00e0 had been shortly before (see: the funerals of an era<\/a>). Despite this, after that funeral, for a long period of time, the architect and even modernism itself fell into a kind of neglect. When interest was revived, Gaud\u00ed\u2019s Catalanist side remained buried.<\/p>\n

The study of this topic is very recent. One of the first books to address it dates back to 1993:\u00a0Antoni Gaud\u00ed, independentista<\/em>, by Agust\u00ed Gim\u00e9nez i Camins, Edicions C. Another pioneering publication on the subject came out on the eve of the Diada in 2013, in the magazine\u00a0El Temps<\/em>. That day, the first extensive report on Torre Bellesguard was published, coinciding with the public opening of this work. The last part of the report carried a significant title: \u201cGaud\u00ed, a censored independentist.\u201d This article, signed by Gemma Aguilera, echoed the aforementioned book and the interview published by the\u00a0Villa-Nova<\/em>\u00a0newspaper, which we mentioned earlier (see the full text: a censored independentist<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Homeland, Faith and Love…<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The motto of the\u00a0Jocs Florals<\/em>\u00a0(Floral Games) revived by the\u00a0Renaixen\u00e7a<\/em>, the cultural movement experienced by Gaud\u00ed and his main friends, patrons, and collaborators, was: \u201cHomeland, Faith and Love.\u201d These three words are, arguably, the best summary of Gaud\u00ed\u2019s Catalan identity. Let\u2019s begin with homeland…<\/p>\n

Homeland: Cultural Commitment and Civic Resistance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Among the latest publications on Gaud\u00ed, one worth highlighting is the 2018 edition by Joan Torres Dom\u00e8nech, once again with a very telling title:\u00a0El Gaud\u00ed que no ens han explicat<\/em>\u00a0(The Gaud\u00ed They Haven\u2019t Told Us About), Cosset\u00e0nia Edicions. Among the various points it covers, one stands out for breaking the false myth of Gaud\u00ed as a mystic detached from the world. Not at all! From his youth, Gaud\u00ed showed extraordinary interest in public affairs. For this reason, he actively participated in the main organizations of his time, such as the\u00a0Associaci\u00f3 Catalanista d\u2019Excursions Cient\u00edfiques<\/em>, and was involved in organizing various cultural events, such as the\u00a0Jocs Florals<\/em>\u00a0of 1883 and 1907 (2).<\/p>\n

However, while he gladly accepted responsibilities in organizing cultural events, he avoided official political commitments. When the\u00a0Lliga Regionalista<\/em>\u00a0offered him a spot on their electoral list, he flatly refused. Even so, he signed a manifesto in support of the party and, in the aforementioned interview in\u00a0Vila-Nova<\/em>\u00a0magazine, praised the work of Prat de la Riba, its founder (3).<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, when faced with injustice, he never hesitated to protest. For this reason, Gaud\u00ed clashed with law enforcement at least four times. The most famous incident was his arrest on September 11, 1924, when he attempted to attend a mass in honor of those who died during the 1714 siege, held at the Church of Saints Just and Pastor (4).<\/p>\n

To the question, \u201cDid Gaud\u00ed believe in Catalan independence?\u201d, Joan Torres Dom\u00e8nech believes the answer is no. Following Enric Prat de la Riba\u2019s ideas in his book\u00a0La nacionalitat catalana<\/em>\u00a0(1906), Gaud\u00ed\u2019s vision of Spain leaned toward federalism (5).<\/p>\n

Faith: Critical Spirituality and Religious Catalanism<\/strong><\/p>\n

The motto of the\u00a0Jocs Florals<\/em>\u00a0revived by the\u00a0Renaixen\u00e7a<\/em>, the cultural movement experienced by Gaud\u00ed and his main friends, patrons, and collaborators, was: \u201cHomeland, Faith and Love.\u201d The second word,\u00a0faith<\/em>, is even more complex than the first. If Gaud\u00ed\u2019s political stance is already difficult to explain, understanding how it relates to his religious beliefs is even more challenging. To start with, let’s remember that Gaud\u00ed wasn\u2019t always so religious (see:\u00a0From Dandy to Saint<\/em><\/a>). It was only toward the end of his life that his faith deepened. Secondly, as Gemma Aguilera (mentioned earlier) writes, \u201cdespite his religiosity, Gaud\u00ed did not refrain from criticizing the Church for its lack of Catalan identity\u201d (6). Therefore, Gaud\u00ed\u00a0was very careful about his connections with ecclesiastical circles and didn\u2019t hesitate to speak out when something seemed wrong. In other words, while it\u2019s true that Gaud\u00ed put his imagination and talent at the service of the Catholic faith, it\u2019s also true that he internalized and expressed that faith in a deeply personal way.<\/p>\n

The main associations Gaud\u00ed identified with were the\u00a0Cercle de Sant Lluc<\/em>\u00a0and the\u00a0Lliga Espiritual de la Mare de D\u00e9u<\/em>, two conservative yet Catalanist organizations founded shortly before Gaud\u00ed began work on Torre Bellesguard in 1900. Its promoter, Bishop Torras i Bagu\u00e9s, a personal friend of Gaud\u00ed, made the motto famous: \u201cCatalonia will be Christian or it will not be.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no coincidence that the first owners of Torre Bellesguard, the Figueras family, were also members of these associations. Another non-coincidental detail:\u00a0La Moreneta<\/em>, the famous Virgin of Montserrat, had been declared patron saint of Catalonia in 1881 by Pope Leo XIII, and Bellesguard is full of Marian symbols, such as the eight-pointed star<\/a> on the main fa\u00e7ade\u2014a symbol of both the Immaculate Conception and the Three Wise Men. This symbol is surrounded by various versions of the four red stripes of the\u00a0senyera<\/em>, with the one atop the pinnacle standing out.<\/p>\n

Love: Local and Universal Symbols<\/strong><\/p>\n

The motto of the\u00a0Jocs Florals<\/em>\u00a0revived by the\u00a0Renaixen\u00e7a<\/em>, the cultural movement experienced by Gaud\u00ed and his main friends, patrons, and collaborators, was: \u201cHomeland, Faith and Love.\u201d Now it\u2019s time to talk about love. Whether or not he was an independentist, whether or not he was drawn to a Catholic Catalonia, what no one can deny is Gaud\u00ed\u2019s love for his homeland. Ultimately, what has endured from the architect\u2019s legacy are the symbols born of that love and the ways he expressed it\u2014combining references to nature, history, and the spiritual traditions of the Catalan people.<\/p>\n

In all his buildings, Gaud\u00ed made this love for Catalonia evident, perhaps most intensely in Torre Bellesguard (see:\u00a0Bellesguard, Gaud\u00ed\u2019s Tribute to Catalonia<\/em><\/a>). A work where not only the symbols speak of Catalonia\u2019s past, but the site itself has been the setting for major historical events, such as the final years of Mart\u00ed I the Humane<\/a>, the last member of the House of Barcelona, and Joan Gualbes, one of the heroes of the 1714 siege, buried in the Basilica of Saints Just and Pastor<\/a>\u2014the church Gaud\u00ed was heading to when he was arrested on the 1924\u00a0Diada<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Today, Torre Bellesguard keeps this memory alive through its tours and activities. A legacy of homeland, faith, and love that endures in one of its most symbolic settings. In the heart of Catalonia. Bellesguard is not just architecture. It is living history of Catalonia. We are open\u2014come and discover it!<\/p>\n
