Moor Gate

It belongs to the house of Moro, which has a huge effigy of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, on the facade of its square tower. In 1900, the construction of this car port was agreed upon. This procedure, so simple, so synthetic, based on stone scraps that are destroyed and recomposed as the cubist painters did later with everyday objects and that had always been used in the construction of walls, Gaudi magnifies it and manipulates it to give it a new use, full of fantasy and rigor. In addition to a door for cars and pedestrians, it has a hole in the wall, which is why I would call it "the door of the birds". The undulating surfaces, the rounded corners, the curved volumes of this door will be a point of reference in the linguistic rupture of the architect, who opens here to modernity.
