Barcelona beckons you

Barcelona, the cosmopolitan capital of Spain’s Catalonia region, is known for its art and architecture. The fantastical Sagrada Família church and other modernist landmarks designed by Antoni Gaudí dot the city.

Barcelona is the only city in the world awarded a Royal Gold Medal for architecture by Royal Institute of British Architects. The city boasts of 9 UNESCO-protected monuments, is the most visited city in Spain. Barcelona with 55 Museums and over 65 parks, prides itself with the largest metropolitan park in the world.

Antoni Gaudí i Cornet was a Spanish architect and designer from Catalonia, known as the greatest exponent of Catalan Modernism. Gaudí’s works have a highly individualised, sui generis style. Antoni Gaudí helped the Catalan architecture to worldwide fame and reputation. Gaudí was also an architect and designer with a special ability to synthesise their own tradition and the courage to new technical solutions. He understood to integrate creative and plastic elements in his buildings.

Works of Antoni Gaudí & the city

Seven properties built by the architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926) in or near Barcelona testify to Gaudí’s exceptional creative contribution to the development of architecture and building technology in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These monuments represent an eclectic, as well as a very personal, style which was given free reign in the design of gardens, sculpture and all decorative arts, as well as architecture. The seven buildings are: Parque Güell; Palacio Güell; Casa Mila; Casa Vicens; Gaudí’s work on the Nativity façade and Crypt of La Sagrada Familia; Casa Batlló; Crypt in Colonia Güell.
