- 100TH ANNIVERSARY
OF THE RESTORATION OF THE MALLORCA CATHEDRAL
 |
Last December 8th 2004, the Seo de Mallorca
celebrated the centenary of its restoration realised by Antoni
Gaudí. The works started in 1904, assigned by bishop Campins,
and continued until 1914. Gaudí's genius was able to surpass
the critical voices and the architect remodelled some aspects
of the Cathedral, which had been built in the 14th Century under
the authority of Jaume II, first king of Mallorca. |
Josep
M. Jujol, architect and Gaudí's collaborator, also participated
in the restoration of the Cathedral.

14. CURIOSITIES
GAUDÍ'S PERSONNALITY
Those who knew Gaudí and dealt with him describe the architect as an intelligent
person, with a strong personality, imagination and genius, although shy and introvert.
As a child, without hiding from his schoolmates, he carefully protected his individuality
and when he had a bright idea, nobody could make him change it our derive his attention
form it.
There's this woman from Reus who had known Gaudí as a child. Many years
later, when she visited Barcelona and saw Sagrada Familia for the first time, she
exclaimed “Oh my god, he does exactly the same as he did when he was a child!!”
