la arquitectura
17. Antonio Gaudi- was born in the Catalan province of Tarragona on
June 25th 1852 to a family of 4 generations of artisan
coppersmiths. The fact that he had to remain close to home made
him a keen observer and analyst of nature and its shapes, which
were later reflected in his works. He was the first Gaudí to remove
himself from the familyʼs long-standing craft tradition. His early
work on the Casa Vicens and the Villa El Capricho were followed
by the Finca Güell, the first work completed for his patron, Eusebi
Güell. Then the infamous Park Güell.



18. La Sagrada Familia- La Sagrada Familia, or Holy Family Church, is
Antoni Gaudi's most ambitious work, and construction is still
ongoing. The questionable construction work isnʼt the only threat
to the structure. Concerns for the foundations of the cathedral
have been raised after approval was given earlier this year for a
high-speed link between Madrid and Barcelona that passes within
meters of the structure.

19. Park Guell- Parque GÃell, or Guell Park, by Antoni Gaudi is
surrounded by an undulating mosaic wall. The assignment of this
project was made by the count of Güell as an aristocratic city-
garden with single-family residences. The project ﬁnally wasn't a
success and consequently it became a municipality property and
since 1923 being transformed in a public park.

20.La Alhambra- The greatest concern of the architects of the
Alhambra was to cover every single space with decoration, no matter
the size of the space. It is located in Granada, Spain. It was made from
1338-1390. Its a palace type of building. Bearing masonry was the
construction system.

21.El Escorial- ocated some 30 miles northwest of Madrid in the
foothills of the Sierra de Guadarrama, was built as a monument to
commemorate the Spanish victory over the French. It used to be the
largest building in the world. Its a giant building of granite.

22. Teotihuacan- the largest city in Mesoamerica during the Classic
period, developed a complex urban civilization. Teotihuacán



means The City of the Gods, or Where Men Become Gods. Its
located in Mexico. The plazas, avenues, and great pyramids of the
city of Teotihuacán were laid out as a symbolic sacred landscape
of artificial foothills and mountains. it was discovered in 1971, and
was built over a natural cave with four chambers.

23. Chichen Itzá- Its located in Chichen Itza, Mexico. Chichen Itza is
the most visited archaeological site in the peninsula of Yucatan, due
to its extraordinary architecture beauty and its geographical location.
The construction began in the 7th century and the city reached its
peak after the Toltecs came in the 10th century.

el cine
24.Pedro Almódovar- He was born in Spain. He was the most
successful and internationally known Spanish film director,
screenwriter and producer of his generation alone. he is often
described as a "women's director" because many of his films have
revolved around strong, sympathetic female characters. Heʼs
propelled the careers of Spainʼs most influential actors like Penélope
Cruz and Antonio Banderas.

la obra de teatro-
25. la Zarzuela-is a Spanish lyric-dramatic genre that alternates
between spoken and sung scenes, the latter incorporating
operatic and popular song, as well as dance. The etymology of the
name is not totally certain but some propose it may derive from
the name of a Royal hunting lodge, the Palacio de la Zarzuela near
Madrid, where, allegedly, this type of entertainment was first
presented to the court.[1] The palace was named after the place
called "La Zarzuela" because of the profusion of brambles (zarzas)
that grew there and so the festivities held within the walls became
known as "Zarzuelas".
