Ironwork is jewelry for buildings.
 
The designers and workers that create them are artists indeed. Here is a sampling of work we found in Barcelona.  Everything from doors to gates to lamps.

The sparrow that is twittering on the edge of my balcony is calling up to me this moment a world of memories that reach over half my lifetime, and a world of hope that stretches farther than any flight of sparrows.  ~Donald G Mitchell
