EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the exterior of the Guell Wine Cellar Chapel, a remarkable architectural masterpiece designed by the visionary Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi (1852-1926). Constructed between 1895 and 1897 in the heart of Catalonia, Spain, this architectural marvel is a testament to Gaudi's innovative approach to modernism and contemporary design. The Guell Wine Cellar complex, located in the town of Sitges, is a unique blend of functional winery and artistic expression. The chapel, dedicated to the patron saint of wine, Saint Vincent, is a standout feature of the complex. Its exterior is adorned with intricate details, including the iconic winding staircase with its distinctive "Cornet de Bou" or "Horn of the Ox" motif, and the undulating roofline, which evokes the fluidity of nature. The chapel's facade is further embellished with a large, stained glass window, depicting the cross and the face of Francesc Assis, the founder of the Poor Clares, and the inscription "Mestres i Garraf" - the name of the winery. The bell tower, with its distinctive bell, is a nod to the traditional winemaking practices of the region. Gaudi's design for the Guell Wine Cellar Chapel is a prime example of his modernist style, which sought to integrate art and architecture in a harmonious way. The chapel's exterior is a feast for the eyes, with its intricate details, bold colors, and organic forms, making it a must-see destination for architecture and art enthusiasts alike.
