Eixample Courtyards
Hidden within the grid-like streets of the Eixample district are tranquil courtyards, offering a peaceful escape from the bustling city. These green spaces provide a glimpse into the urban planning and architectural design of Barcelona.
Casa Calvet
One of Antoni Gaudí's earlier works, Casa Calvet is a more conventional building compared to his later designs. It features a symmetrical facade and showcases Gaudí's attention to detail and innovative use of materials.
