The Journey
Sagrada Familia
The Sagrada Familia, Antoni Gaudí's magnum opus, is a breathtaking basilica that stands as a testament to his visionary genius. Its soaring spires, intricate facades, and awe-inspiring interior blend Gothic and Art Nouveau styles in a symphony of light and color. Still under construction over a century after Gaudí's death, the Sagrada Familia is an unmissable symbol of Barcelona and a profound spiritual experience.
Casa Amatller
Casa Amatller, designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch, stands proudly beside Casa Batlló on Passeig de Gràcia. This architectural gem showcases Puig i Cadafalch's unique interpretation of Modernisme, blending Gothic and Flemish influences. Its striking façade, adorned with colorful ceramics and sculptural details, offers a captivating glimpse into the artistic rivalries that shaped Barcelona's architectural landscape.
Casa Lleó Morera
Casa Lleó Morera, a stunning residence designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner, exemplifies the exuberance of Catalan Modernisme. As one of the most esteemed architects of his time, Domènech i Montaner infused the building with intricate details, vibrant mosaics, and sculptural flourishes. A visit reveals the opulent lifestyle of Barcelona's elite at the turn of the 20th century and the innovative spirit of its artistic vanguard.
Illa de la Discòrdia (Block of Discord)
The Illa de la Discòrdia, or 'Block of Discord,' is a stretch of Passeig de Gràcia where architectural masterpieces by Gaudí, Domènech i Montaner, and Puig i Cadafalch stand side-by-side. Each building showcases a unique vision of Catalan Modernisme, creating a captivating visual clash of styles. Stroll along this open-air museum to witness the creative energy and competitive spirit that defined Barcelona's architectural golden age.
Casa Terradas (Casa de les Punxes)
Casa Terradas, also known as Casa de les Punxes (House of Spikes), is an imposing building designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch in the style of a medieval castle. While often considered one of Gaudí's rivals, Puig i Cadafalch created a unique structure which provides a glimpse into the broader architectural landscape of Barcelona beyond Gaudí. Its distinctive pointed turrets and intricate brickwork make it a memorable landmark.
Park Güell
Park Güell, a whimsical wonderland designed by Antoni Gaudí, is a celebration of nature and imagination. Perched atop a hill overlooking Barcelona, the park features mosaic-covered benches, fantastical pavilions, and winding pathways that blend seamlessly with the landscape. The iconic mosaic salamander, 'el Drac,' greets visitors with its playful charm, while panoramic views of the city unfold from the main terrace.
Casa Milà (La Pedrera)
Casa Milà, also known as La Pedrera (The Stone Quarry), is Antoni Gaudí's last private residence and a masterpiece of organic architecture.

Explore the rooftop terrace with its surreal chimneys and enjoy panoramic views of Barcelona from this iconic landmark.
