Itinerary
In our first stop we will talk about Gaudí's early life and some of his first works.
The Güell Palace is a building designed by Antoni Gaudí and framed in the current of Catalan modernism. It is located on Nou de la Rambla street in Barcelona, near the port and the promenade of the city. The palace was commissioned to Gaudí by Eusebio Güell, who felt a great admiration for the architect and financed several of his most famous works.
Casa Batlló is a reflection of Gaudí's artistic plenitude: it belongs to his naturalist period (first decade of the 20th century), a period in which the architect perfected his personal style, inspired by the organic forms of nature, for which he implemented a series of new structural solutions based on Gaudí's in-depth analysis of ruled geometry.
Casa Milà is a reflection of Gaudí's artistic plenitude: it belongs to his naturalist period (first decade of the 20th century), a period in which the architect perfected his personal style, inspired by the organic forms of nature, for which he implemented a whole series of new structural solutions based on Gaudí's in-depth analysis of ruled geometry.
The main monument of the neighborhood and the one that gives it its name is the Basilica of the Sagrada Familia. Begun in 1882, it is still under construction. It is considered the masterpiece of the architect Antoni Gaudí, and the maximum exponent of Catalan modernist architecture, being the most visited monument in Spain.
