Güell Pavilions, Architectural complex from Antoni Gaudí in Pedralbes, Spain.
The Güell Pavilions are an architectural complex designed by Antoni Gaudí in Barcelona, featuring two gatehouse structures and an iron gate with a dragon figure. The ensemble combines brick construction with curved arches and sits at the edge of the former estate grounds.
Eusebi Güell commissioned Gaudí in the 1880s to design these pavilions as gatehouse structures for his estate. The work marks Gaudí's earlier approach before his later iconic projects.
The buildings display Catalan Modernism features through geometric patterns and bright ceramic tiles covering the façades. Visitors can observe the crafted link between architecture and decorative art that defines these structures.
The pavilions can be viewed from the street and are easily visible from outside access points. The site is conveniently located near public transportation options for visitor access.
The iron gate features a dragon motif that references the legend of Ladon from Greek mythology. This symbol connects Gaudí's interest in classical myths with modern design principles.
