ANTONI GAUDI ART AND ARCHITECTURE |
|
"Figure 24. Gaudi respected the ancient ruins [of Bell Esguard] in several ways. The remaining walls he built into a type of terrace in front of the new house. And the access road (now called calle Bellesguard) was moved well away to the front, overhanging a gully. This necessitated the construction of a retaining wall and viaduct, which he made with inclined piers of rough stone work similar to those of the contemporary Park Guell." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins)
