In short, it was here that the exceptional genius of the genius of the building art developed . And only then, 16 years after Antonio published the world's first cry, he left Reus in order to search for something new, interesting, revealing new facets of his talent .

Today Reus can be called the second city after Barcelona's capital Catalonia, where so many places and stories about the young Gaudi have survived. In particular, the house where he was born, that on the street of San Vicens, the church of Sant Pere, in which he was baptized, the former parochial school, the temple of Mercy ... But the main attraction of tourists, who are awed by the simple at first glance, but surprisingly difficult to put the right stress on the name is the museum in his name.

The preamble is over, welcome to the walls, perhaps one of the most interesting museums in the country. He, by the way, was born not so long ago - in 2007, but immediately became the main attraction of Reus.
