Already in 1922, despite resistance from some members of the community, objecting to "useless" venture, Park Gö?ell was purchased by the city. Last completed work Gaula became Mila House (1906-1910) - the most irreproachable in terms of artistic taste of today. Unconditional strangeness of this facility in the eyes of his contemporaries, who did not have a sample for comparison, is reflected in not without the ironic title of shade houses entrenched among barselontsov: La Pedrera - "quarry.

. Construction of the Sagrada Familia, also known as the temple of the remission of sins, was launched without the participation of Gaudi and will be completed without its participation, being at the same time, his "Opera Magna" - the main product

Personal life, besides work, the Gaudi was. The only events to which he responded sharply, it is the death of friends: friend and assistant Francisco Berenguer (1914), customer, patron and friend Eusebio Gö?ell (1918).
