Description

One of the first known works of the architect Antoni Gaudí is this “Water lighting project in the valley of the Caldas stream to increase the flow rate of the mine of the Señores irrigantes de Plegamans”, commissioned by the Marquis of Sentmenat. Both in the memory and in the plans of the project, the taste for detail and perfectionism that would characterize its author can already be appreciated.
