See stunning architecture in Barcelona
Spanish architecture is one of the most visually appealing styles of architecture in the world. And when it comes to Spanish architecture, Barcelona is home to only the best of the best.
Start out a slow Saturday morning with a trip to the Sagrada Familia and luxuriate in the jaw-dropping wonder of one of the most beautiful churches in the world. The crown jewel of celebrated architect, Antoni Gaudi’s, glittering career, the Sagrada Familia is a work of art that has taken more than a century to finish. And work is still ongoing! But with its compelling façade, unreal structures and inspiring aura, the masterpiece still pulls crowds of more than 2.8 million every year.
Stop by one of the most famous buildings in Spain, the Casa Batlló on Paseo de Gracia, a world heritage site and another of Antoni Gaudi’s masterpieces. Whether you’re alone or with a loved one, you’ll quickly be transported in the beautiful halls and rooms of this mansion to an age of dreams and wonder.
Or get a load of one of the most popular parks in Barcelona and the world, Park Güell. At this wondrous park, seemingly simple things like stones, tile and plants magically come to life from the touch of the architectural genius that was Gaudi.
