Finca Güell Southern Gate


The faculties in the Zona Universitària show some of the remains of Gaudí's work on the old Güell Estate, such as this gateway decorated with coloured tiles.

The vast Finca Güell had three entrance gates designed by Antoni Gaudí. The Southern gate (C/ Martí and Franquès, 2) is less visible than the others; it is located in a garden between the faculties of Biology and Geology and the Institute for Earth Sciences. It is built with red bricks, with small white and green ceramic tiles forming a chequered pattern. Two lateral battlemented walls of unequal height supported a metal grille gate, which can be seen in Casa Museu Gaudí in Parc Güell. This small Catalan Art Nouveau work is no longer in the exact place it was built on. One of the walls bears the number 1957, the date when it was moved to its present location. It was refurbished in 1982.
