Antoni Gaudi
Guell Palace
The Guell palace was one of the first masterpieces constructed by Antoni Gaudi. An extremely rich industrial family named Guell commissioned the building in 1888. The building shows one of the first signs of Gaudi’s later obsession with art Nouveau.
Casa Batlló
This is one of Gaudi’s well known masterpieces. The locals refer to it as the house of bones, because of its skeletal look. Casa Batlló is one of the Gaudi structures that is listed as a World heritage site.
Sagrada Família
In the original Gaudi plans the church would have had three facades, seven isles and 18 towers. Sadly the plans had to be changed; there are only two facades now of which only one was completed by Gaudi before his death.
It is said that the church will completed somewhere in the 21st century and would ultimately be the face of religion in Barcelona.
