The work of Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi (1852-1926) was strongly influenced by “Art Nouveau” ornamental elements, Neo-Gothic style and the Moors, this last with its mixture of cheap stone and colorful tiles. Gaudi's creations are mainly concentrated in Barcelona, site of the Sagrada Familia cathedral.Naming citation (19991123/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
