But, without a doubt, the last modification, begun in 1904 and finished in 1946, is what makes the Church of San Bartolomé an icon of the city and an example of wonderful Art Nouveau. This is the spectacular modernist façade, the work of the Catalan architect, Joan Rubió i Bellver, a disciple of the great Antonio Gaudí, with whom he collaborated on other works of great importance, including La Sagrada Familia, La Casa Batlló and Parc Güell, in Barcelona.
