Exploring Gaudí´s Legacy from the Sagrada Familia to the Most Iconic Monuments in Barcelona

• Sagrada Familia: Stands as one of the world-renowned works of the visionary genius of Antoni Gaudí, a Roman Catholic minor basilica in the heart of Barcelona, Spain. Starting its construction in 1882, this iconic masterpiece remains an ongoing work of art. The basilica´s unexpected presence in the urban landscape is marked by bold flying buttresses and uniquely twisted towers that loom majestically over the city. Sagrada Família is a timeless symbol of architectural innovation and a must-visit attraction in the heart of Catalonia´s capital.
• La Pedrera, Casa Mila: Casa Milà, popularly known as La Pedrera was built between 1906 and 1912. This iconic building, along with Park Guell and Palau Guell, earned a well-deserved place on the World Heritage Site List in 1984, showcasing its significance in the architectural landscape. The nickname "La Pedrera," meaning "stone quarry" in Catalan, is in honour of the building´s exterior, where stone takes centre stage in the intricate design of the façade and balconies. Gaudí´s innovative approach and the building´s unique aesthetics contribute to its status as one of the world´s most exceptional sites, seamlessly blending tradition and modernity.
• Casa Batllo: A striking architectural gem on Passeig de Gracia, Barcelona, showcases the brilliance of Antonio Gaudí and Josep Maria Jujol. Originally built in 1877 and renovated between 1904-1906, the building, locally named Casa dels ossos (House of Bones), boasts an organic, skeletal design with a mosaic facade of broken ceramic tiles. Casa Batlló stands as a vivid representation of Gaudi´s iconic Modernist style and enduring influence on Barcelona´s architecture.
• Casa Amatller: Originally built in 1875, it was transformed into the residence of chocolatier Antoni Amatller from 1898 to 1900. Preserved with remarkable authenticity, the house now serves as a historic museum, café, and the Amatller Institute for Hispanic Art. Open for scheduled tours, it offers a glimpse into the lifestyle of the Amatller family during the Modernisme era.
• Casa Lleo Morera: A jewel of modernist architecture by Lluís Domenech i Montaner on Passeig de Gracia, Barcelona, emerged from a 1902 commission by Francesca Morera. After she died in 1904, her son Albert Lleó i Morera continued the project, completed on March 10, 1905. As part of the "Block of Discord" with Casa Batlló and Casa Amatller, it´s the winner of Barcelona´s 1906 Artistic Buildings Competition. Described as a "miniature Palace of Catalan Music".
• Park Guell: Located on Carmel Hill in Barcelona, Spain, is a captivating blend of gardens and architectural wonders designed by Antoni Gaudí. Commissioned by Eusebi Güell, the park was built between 1900 and 1914, officially opening to the public in 1926. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984 under "Works of Antoni Gaudí," it displays the integration of nature and design, making it a must-visit destination that reflects the creative spirit of Barcelona.
