Modernist Barcelona 

From the time when Ildefons Cerdà planned and organised the town planning of the central streets, Barcelona became the home of Modernism.

With the excuse of the “Año Cerdà” year, which commemorates him, Barcelona invites you to discover the Gothic Quarter, the Paseo de Gracia, La Rambla de Catalunya, the Hospital Sant Pau or the Palau de la Música. And of course, the prolific work of Antoni Gaudí such as the Sagrada Familia, El Palau Güell, La Pedrera, la Casa Batlló and the Parc Güell.
