Gaudi's imagination and creativity is absolutely evident in the outstanding Pavilions of Güell's mansion. Probably the most astonishing feature is the elaborate iron gate with the incredible oversized dragon with glass eyes - a sight to be admired!

The unique Church and Cript of Colonia Güell was Gaudi's training grounds for Sagrada Familia. Even though Colonia Güell was never finished, it is an outstanding example of the architect's creativity and inventiveness.

Casa Vicens is Gaudi's first important work! Built in the 1880s, it clearly shows the modernist style of the architect but the naturalistic wave design is not yet present. Gaudi used elements of the Moorish architectural style, especially evident in the roof design. The building's facade incorporates red brick and colorful tiles, signifying the owner's family business, brick and tile manufacturing.

The gorgeous Art Nouveau building of Hospital Sant Pau must be the most beautiful hospital facility ever built! It was constructed in the beginning of the 1900s and designed by the talented Catalan architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. This is the second location of Hospital Sant Pau which was first established in the 1400s. Today, the hospital occupies a third location and the Art Nouveau masterpiece is open to the public as a museum and cultural venue so all can admire the craftsmanship of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Built in a Barcelona neighborhood of vintage elegance, Gaudi created his most conventional design - Casa Calvet. Nevertheless, his unique style is projected onto the architectural elements - curvy iron balconies, nature-inspired columns and the beautiful roof facade arches are some of the well-known Gaudi modernist touches. The sculptured heads at the top of the facade identify the owner of the house and the Calvet family saints. Nowadays, Casa Calvet restaurant provides the unique opportunity to dine in a piece of art!

Gaudi desined and built this palace for the industrial tycoon Eusebi Güell in the late 1800s. The facade will surprise you with the more sober look than other Gaudi creations but once inside, you'll see the familiar style of the architect. The marvelous center room is the main jewel of the house with its domed ceiling with tiny circle holes resembling a starry sky. The roof is another chimney forest of Gaudi's imagination, perfectly designed and executed.

Casa Amatller by Puig i Cadafalch is one of the finest modernist buildings of Barcelona! Attached to Casa Batillo, but drastically different from it, Casa Amtller's design incorporates the typical Catalan mansion with Germanic elements. The impressive facade features a bold ridged cornice, highlighted with ceramic tiles and delicate balcony porticoes. One of the most amazing features of Casa Amatller is the fine stained-glass windows from Barcelona's modernist era.

Palau de la Música Catalana is one of the brightest examples of modernist architecture! The gorgeous facade with detailed sculptures and colorful columns ornamented in tiles attracts the eye and is only contested by the incredible interior. Designed in the modernist splendor of the 1900s, the interior strikes with its beauty. Don't miss the chance to marvel at the exquisite stained-glass skylight over the main auditorium!

The eclectic Casa Mila aka La Pedrera (The Quarry) is the last civil building Gaudi designed. And what a building it is! There is not a single straight wall on the entire facade of waiving limestone and intricate iron balconies. La Pedrera is also an example of incredible architectural innovation of the time with its self-supporting front and underground garage. Enter the fortress like structure to find yourself in a wonderful court, then go through an exhibition of furniture designed by Gaudi to fit the look and feel of Casa Mila. Finish your tour at the roof and admire the beautifully weird chimney garden with its variety of shapes and creative details.

Another one of Gaudi's fairy tale masterpieces is Casa Batlló, often called House of Bones for the skeleton like elements and balconies. The extraordinary design of the exterior and interior barely has any straight lines and the typical mushroom chimneys incorporate Gaudi's version of modernist Art Nouveau. Bursting with symbolism, Casa Batlló is believed to incorporate the biblical scene where St. George kills the dragon. The cross-like chimney towering from the facade represents St. George's lance plunged into the dragon's body represented by the rounded tiled roof. 

Enter the fairy tale land of Park Güell and dive into the magic of Gaudi's genius! Intricate details and shapes derived from nature and enhanced through the artistic eye of the architect will leave you speechless. Colorful mushroom chimneys and mysterious colonnades, dynamically designed buildings and serpentine benched terrace, tiled lizards and mosaic collages... all of that doesn't even begin to describe the artistic treasures of Park Güell.

Sagrada Familia is the culmination of Gaudi's genus and one of the most visited places in the world! The church's impressive architecture, with the towering spires and incredibly detailed facade, majestically overlooks the entire city of Barcelona. The interior is no less impressive with tall columns, intricate stained glass and breathtaking sculptures. Sagrada Familia was designed to represent the relationship between humans, nature and religion. Each tiny detail, from the wonderful leafs to the life-like sculptures and biblical scenes, presents a symbolism in its highest artistic form. The church has been in construction since 1892 and is expected to be finished around 2030. The architect, Antonio Gaudi, died before he saw his masterpiece but his legacy will live forever.
