The Gaudí Tour

What will I see?

Who was Gaudí?

Antoni Gaudí was a visionary architect during Barcelona’s modernista period early 1900.  Most of his extraordinary buildings are in Barcelona. No less than 7 have been listed as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO, including Sagrada Família and Casa Batlló.

His knowledge of design, drawing and mathematical calculation, together with his use of nature as sourse of inspiration, make his works so unique that hardly can be compare with anything you have seen before. 

Passeig de Gràcia

This elegant avenue can be compared to 5th Avd. in New York or Champs Elisee in Paris .Was built for and by the wealthy Barcelonians and they have never left; national and international designer shops, major banks, deluxe hotels and the stock exchange line up on both sides of the street, and, of course, some of the most beatiful buildings of the so called Modernist style.

• La Pedrera, Casa Milà. with its wavy façade , its extraordinary balconies, and the top with the weird chimneys that resemble soldiers looking out for the residents, this house was an aesthetic and technical revolution. 
• The block of discord. The three most important architects from the modernista style, worked here during the same years : Gaudí with Casa Batlló, Domènech i Montaner with Casa Lleó Morera and Puig i Cadafalch with Casa Amatller

Casa Batlló

Casa Batlló is most propably his most creative work ; The exceptional façade reflects a tranquil sea and, hidden behind it, is a world of imagination and refined architectural details.
