Barcelona is not the only city where Gaudí has its beautiful buildings. Here are additional 6 that can be found in Spain.

12. El Capricho, Comillas (Cantabria)

The house El Capricho, located in the town of Comillas near Santander (Cantabria), was built between 1883 – 1885. And it is clear from first sight how much it has common with the house Casa Vicens in Barcelona.

Gaudí always focused primarily on his buildings in Barcelona and those that were outside the Catalan capital, were built primarily by his assistants, and in this case it was Cristóbal Cascante Colom.

13. Episcopal Palace, Astorga (León)

Spanish province of Leon boasts two of Gaudi buildings and one of them is beautiful Episcopal Palace located in Astorga. This truly fabulous-looking palace is a perfect example of neo-Gothic style. Construction took place in the years 1889 – 1915

The old bishop’s palace, which stood on this place, completely burned and there was a need to build a new one. Astorga at the time did not have any architect-specialist in church buildings. But it was not a problem, the local bishop Joan Baptista Grau i Vallespinós already knew one handy.
