Most of Gaudí's identification documents from both his student and professional years gave Reus as his birthplace.

Gaudí's family originated in the Auvergne region in southern France. He was the youngest of five children, of whom three survived to adulthood: Rosa (1844–1879), Francesc (1851–1876) and Antoni.

He also introduced new techniques in the treatment of materials, such as trencadís which used waste ceramic pieces. He considered every detail of his creations and integrated into his architecture such crafts as ceramics, stained glass, wrought ironwork forging and carpentry. Gaudí's work was influenced by his passions in life: architecture, nature, and religion. Most are located in Barcelona, including his main work, the church of the Sagrada Família.
