La Pedrera Chimneys Sheet, BARCELONA
Art print from the Barcelona Series. Chimneys of La Pedrera
They are one of the most famous and unique elements of the roof, and the one that has generated all kinds of hypotheses about its origin and symbolism. There are a total of 30 fireplaces, arranged in groups or individually, and spread throughout the terrace. Built in brick plastered with ocher-colored mortar, they have a body that rotates on itself in a helical shape, and topped with a small dome that, in most cases, has a shape similar to a warrior's helmet. Likewise, on one of the chimneys Gaudí placed a heart pointing towards Reus, his birthplace, while on the other side a heart and a tear point towards the Sagrada Familia, a fact that some experts interpret as a sign of sadness for not being able to see it finished.
