Susan's favorite artist : Antoni Gaudi



Antoni Gaudi was born in 1852 in Riudoms or in Reus of Spain.
Gaudi's exact birthplace is unknown because no supporting documents have been found.
When he was 17, he started studying architecture.Gaudi died on 10 June 1926 at the age of 73. Between 1984 and 2005, seven of his works were declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. When I saw his works for the first time, I thought they were very interesting and amazing.
His works are the reason that I want to visit Spain. Gaudi devoted his life entirely to his profession. He graduated from school of architecture in Barcelona. In 1878, He worked independently. He lived alone in whole his life. He got hit by a streetcar and he died on 10 June 1926. His masterpiece, the still-uncompleted Sagrada Família, is one of the most visited monuments in Spain.
