Around the neighbourhood
You may as well start where the locals start – first thing in the morning, shopping
for bread and provisions in the
Mercat de la Llibertat
, a block west of c/Gran
de Gràcia. The building was revamped in 1893 by a former pupil of Gaudí,
Francesc Berenguer i Mestrès, who sheltered its food stalls under a
modernista
wrought-iron roof. It’s currently being restored, but is due to re-open by 2009.
Two blocks to the north,
Rambla del Prat
has the finest surviving collection
of
modernista
townhouses in the district, while a couple of blocks further north
again stands Antoni Gaudí’s first major private commission, the
Casa Vicens
(1883–85) at c/les Carolines 24 (
o
Fontana). Here he took inspiration from the
Moorish style, covering the facade in linear green-and-white tiles with a flower
motif.The decorative iron railings are a reminder of Gaudí’s early training as a
metalsmith and, to further prove his versatility – and how Art Nouveau cuts
across art forms – Gaudí also designed much of the mansion’s furniture (though
as it’s a private house, unfortunately you can’t get in to see it).
