Ca l'Ordal, a Catalan Modernist house built 1894 by Joan Rubio, 1870-1952, and Francesc Berenguer, 1866-1914, on the Plaza Anselm Clave at Colonia Guell, a workers' colony set up by Eusebi Guell in Santa Coloma de Cervello, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The colony was begun in 1890 on Guell's estate Can Soler de la Torre, with a hospital, boardinghouse, schools, shops, theatres, chapel, factories and workers' housing. The Catalan Modernist architect Antoni Gaudi, 1852-1926, was in charge of the project, collaborating with Francesc Berenguer, Joan Rubio and Josep Canaleta. Picture by Manuel Cohen
