one of guadi's hidden treasures..

moro's gate, comillas (1900)

This modernist style doorway was constructed of irregularly placed cut stone, a technique used frequently by the cubist artist. This type of construction allowed Gaudi to carve and shape its volume. 

It consists of three openings, the biggest is an entrance for cars, the medium-sized one is for people and the smallest, just visible through the ivy on the upper right hand side, is in fact, for birds. The locals call this ''puerta de los Pájaros'' (the gate for birds).  

Its believed that Gaudi designed this doorway while strolling the beach observing birds in flight. He then sketched out the design on the sand with his walking stick.
