10. Casa Milà or
“La Pedrera”
is the most
avant-garde
of all Antoni
Gaudí’s
works.

11. Built between 1906 and 1910,
it completely departed from the
established construction principles
of the time and, as a result,
was ridiculed and strongly attacked
by Barcelona’s intellectuals.
Gaudí designed this corner apartment building,
eight stories high, around two circular
courtyards. In the basement he incorporated
the city’s first underground parking lot. There
are no straight walls anywhere in the building.

15. It is a fantastic park filled with ceramic mosaics, ceramic
animals, and other mosaic-decorated structures.

balcony of colored mosaics, said to have the longest
bench in the world.

20. La Sagrada Familia is Barcelona’s most
spectacular Modernista building and
Europe’s most unconventional church. It is
the greatest work of Gaudí,

21. Gaudí was given the task of completing a neo-Gothic church on the site in
1883, a year after work had begun. He changed every aspect of the
cathedral and made it his life’s work. He worked on it until his death in
1926 and is buried in the crypt. Work continues on the cathedral today,
financed by public donations.

23. This palace is a Modernista celebration of tile work,
sculture, and glorious stained glass. The building,
designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner, was
completed in 1908 on the site of a monastery
dissolved in the 19th century.

32. Construction began in 1298
and was not completed until
the late 19th century, when
the main facade was
completed. The two octagonal
bell towers are the most
monumental features of the
cathedral.

33. The music for Cataluña’s national
dance is provided by a cobla, an
11-person band consisting of a
leader playing a three-holed
