Palau Nacional is one of the most spectacular buildings in Plaça Espanya and was built for the 1929 Universal Exposition, as were a lot of buildings in Montjuïc. The brainchild of architects Eugenio Cendoya and Enric Catà, the aim was to build a monumental, grandiose structure but the duo managed to surpass expectations. The Palace was restored by Italian architect Gae Aulenti and now houses the Museu Nacional de Arte de Catalunya (MNAC).

Il Tempio Espiatorio della Sacra Famiglia è un progetto incompiuto e quello più costoso di Antoni Gaudí, il grande architetto. Questa esposizione unica comprende piante, disegni, foto e modelli collegati alla costruzione del tempio. Ci sono anche opere fatte di ferro battuto, bronzo e legno. Visitatori possono vedere come fu concepito il tempio e le sue origini. Il museo è collocato nella cripta della basilica. C’è un ascensore per andare su in una delle torri da quale si può godere una vista dell’edificio incompiuto ma splendido.

Gaudi's masterpiece, the Casa Batlló is one of the most unique residential buildings ever constructed in the Modernista style. Its facade bedecked with a rainbow of colored tiles gives way to the entrance hall that evokes an underwater sojourn complete with wave-like walls, turtle-shaped skylights, and a staircase that resembles the spine of a mythical creature. The upper level Noble Floor features windows that open out onto Passeig de Gràcia and are flooded with natural light and the connected outdoor patio is a kaleidoscope of hues wrought in glass and tile. From the terrace, it's easy to understand why the house is called casa del drac locally, as the roof tiles resemble Sant Jordi's dragon. A marvelous expression of both creativity and architectural acumen, the Casa Batlló stands as a testament to Gaudi's psychedelic genius.

Antoni Gaudí, l'architetto che ha costruito questa gemma del modernismo catalano, voleva che la facciata rispecchiasse le sue idee romantiche ed anticlassiche sul design. Fu costruito per la famiglia Milà fra il 1906 ed il 1910. Né la famiglia né il pubblico sono stati colpiti: fu soprannominata La Pedrera (cava da pietra) come insulto. Solo più tardi venne rivalutata nel 1984 quando l'UNESCO la dichiarò un patrimonio dell’umanità. Adesso celebrata per tutto il mondo, Casa Milà è un esempio dell’architettura civile di Gaudí; è interessante ed unica ma anche molto pratica.

An eye-catching fixture of downtown Barcelona, the Palau de la Música Catalana boasts a striking modernist design. It was built in the early-20th century by architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner, who designed the now-iconic exterior to feature intricate carvings, red brick arches, and exquisite Spanish and Arabic architectural details. Inside, the concert hall is even more breathtaking with its gold accents, floral patterns, and exceptional stained-glass elements. Visitors to the Palau de la Música Catalana will be awed by the kaleidoscopic skylight whether they take in a show or simply tour this breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the past, the Palau de la Música Catalana has hosted such quality performers as Ella Fitzgerald, Paco de Lucía, Woody Allen, Ángel Corella, and Duke Ellington.
