This walking tour explores Barcelona’s Modernist architecture through the work of Antoni Gaudi and the architects who shaped the city during its most creative period. Led by a guide with an artistic background, the tour explains how architecture, innovation, and cultural identity came together to form modern Barcelona at the turn of the 20th century.
The route includes key landmarks such as the Sagrada Familia, Casa Batllo, and Casa Mila (La Pedrera), along with works by other Modernist architects including Casa Lleo Morera and Casa Amatller on Passeig de Gracia.
