Antoni Gaudí designed this palace for Eusebi Güell, his most important patron. It was one of the architect's first big undertakings and he expressed all of his original creative genius in it. It was built between 1885 and 1889 and shows early signs of Gaudí's desire to combine the structural and the decorative aspects of architecture. He made artistic use of the iron structural elements and introduced Byzantine domes made out of flattened bricks. Let your visit to the city include a guided tour that starts every half hour.

Gaudi begon aan deze surrealistische tempel in 1882, en de bouw is nu nog steeds bezig. Oorspronkelijk zou het een bescheiden neo-gotische kerk worden, maar het is nu het beroemdste gebouw van Barcelona. Gaudi week af van de heersende neo-gotische stijl van eind negentiende, begin twintigste eeuw, en voorzag elk element van de Sagrada Familia van een symbolische betekenis. De basis van de zuilen worden gevormd door schildpadden (dit is het Chinese symbool van orde in de chaos) en de pilaren zijn palmbomen. De meest opvallende kenmerken van het gebouw zijn de barokke stijl, en de mix aan kleuren en de diversiteit aan materialen die gebruikt zijn. (Pleisterwerk, keramiek, mozaïek, ijzer en vele andere steensoorten)
