El Capricho is an example of Gaudí’s orientalist trend in its fullness where the architect found excellent solutions, such as the Persian tower-minaret, this being the distinguishing feature of this work and the first to come from an architectural solution that was to appear in future constructions such as Bellesguard or the Güell Park Pavillions. On the edge of the tower, all covered with the same ceramics as on the borders, thus accentuating its verticality, stands a splendid shrine sustained by four foundation columns where the geometrization of the dome, according to Cirlot cited earlier, is an outright cubism made a quarter of a century before its time.
