Antoni GaudíCatalan architect
Internationally recognized as top Modernist architect
Most creative buildings of the Art Nouveau movement
Casa Milà or “La Pedrera”is the most
avant-garde of all Antoni
Gaudí’s works.
Built between 1906 and 1910,it completely departed from the
established construction principlesof the time and, as a result, was ridiculed and strongly
attacked by Barcelona’s intellectuals.
Gaudí designed this corner apartment building,
eight stories high, around two circular courtyards. In the basement he incorporated
the city’s first underground parking lot. There are no straight walls anywhere in the
building.
Parque Güell
Antoni Gaudí’s most colorful creation.
It is a fantastic park filled with ceramic mosaics, ceramic animals, and other mosaic-decorated
structures.The Gran Plaça Circular is an open space with a
snaking balcony of colored mosaics, said to have the longest bench in the world.
La Sagrada Familia is Barcelona’s most spectacular Modernista building and
Europe’s most unconventional church. It is the greatest work of Gaudí,
Gaudí was given the task of completing a neo-Gothic church on the site in 1883, a year after work had begun. He changed every aspect of the cathedral and made it his life’s work. He worked on it until his death in 1926 and is buried in the crypt. Work
continues on the cathedral today, financed by public donations.
This palace is a Modernista celebration of tile work, sculture, and glorious stained glass. The building,
designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner, was completed in 1908 on the site of a monastery
dissolved in the 19th century.
The most famous street in Spain & the center of social life for the whole

Carrer del Bisbe
The Barrio Gótico is the oldest part
of the city and the true heart of
Barcelona. Located here are
the medieval Palau de la Generalitat, Cataluña’s
parliament; the Casa de la Ciutat, Barcelona’s town hall; the Gothic cathedral and royal palace.
This 14th century building, in the
heart of the Gothic quarter, was built on the foundations of a Roman temple and Moorish mosque.
Construction began in 1298 and was not completed until the late 19th century, when
the main facade was completed. The two
octagonal bell towers are the most monumental
features of the cathedral.
The music for Cataluña’s national dance is provided by a cobla, an 11-person band consisting of a
leader playing a three-holedflute (flabiol) and a little
drum (tabal), five woodwind players, and five brass players.When the music starts dancers
join hands and form circles.The Sardana is performed duringmost local fiestas and at special
day-long gatherings called aplecs.
One of Barcelona’s
most popular attractions is the Picasso
Museum. Pablo Ruíz Picasso (1881-1973) was born in Málaga and
was almost 14 when he came to Barcelona.
