Gaudí's essential works in Barcelona

Barcelona is, without a doubt, the city of Antoni Gaudí. The Catalan architect transformed the urban landscape with buildings, parks, and monuments that are now benchmarks of Modernism and universal symbols of the "Ciudad Condal." Of his eleven works in the city, seven are recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and all of them continue to move the millions of visitors who arrive each year.

Touring Gaudí's creations is much more than an architectural itinerary: it is an experience that combines art, history, and the Mediterranean lifestyle. And to make the most of the visit, B&B HOTELS has seven strategically located accommodations in and around Barcelona:

Modern rooms, free WiFi, a varied buffet breakfast, and a service designed for both cultural getaways and business trips make these hotels the best option to enjoy Barcelona without sacrificing comfort.

1. Sagrada Familia The Basilica de la Sagrada Familia is the undisputed icon of Barcelona. Its construction began in 1882 and is still ongoing, making it Gaudí's most ambitious work and the most visited monument in Spain.

Its facades narrate the life of Jesus with spectacular detail, while its towers point to the sky as a spiritual and artistic symbol. Although Gaudí only saw a portion of the work completed, his vision has transcended to make it a unique project in the world. In 2005, its Nativity facade and the crypt were declared a World Heritage Site.

2. Casa Batlló Right on Passeig de Gràcia, Casa Batlló surprises with its undulating facade, mask-shaped balconies, and a rooftop reminiscent of a dragon's back. Inspired by nature and organic forms, it is one of the most colorful expressions of Gaudí's genius.

It was remodeled between 1904 and 1906 for the Batlló family and has since become one of the most recognizable images of the city. Open to the public, it offers an immersive experience that combines art and technology to understand the architect's vision.

3. La Pedrera (Casa Milà) A few meters from Casa Batlló, we find Casa Milà, better known as La Pedrera. Built between 1906 and 1910, this monumental building stands out for its natural stone facade and its rooftop, where the chimneys look like authentic stone warriors.

Today it is a cultural center and one of the most visited places in Barcelona, with exhibitions, night tours, and unique activities. During the summer, the "Gaudí's Nights" offer live music and glasses of cava on its illuminated rooftop.

4. Park Güell On Carmel Hill is Park Güell, another of the city's great symbols. Originally intended as a residential development, it ended up being transformed into a public space where art and nature merge.

The undulating benches, the trencadís mosaics, and the famous salamander welcome visitors to a park that also offers breathtaking views of the city. Since 1984, it has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage list.

5. Casa Vicens Located in the Gràcia neighborhood, Casa Vicens was Gaudí's first major work after finishing his architectural studies. Built between 1883 and 1885 as a summer house, it combines Oriental and Mudejar influences with a facade covered in colorful ceramics.

Declared a World Heritage Site in 2005, it is less known than the Sagrada Familia or Casa Batlló, but it is essential for understanding Gaudí's beginnings and creative evolution.

6. Palau Güell A short walk from Las Ramblas is the Palau Güell, an urban palace commissioned by the industrialist Eusebi Güell. Its interiors are a lavish display of imagination, with spaces full of light and ornamental details.

On its rooftop, the mosaic-covered chimneys anticipate the style that Gaudí would later perfect at Casa Batlló or La Pedrera. It has been on the World Heritage list since 1984.

A Unique Tour of Barcelona

Visiting Gaudí's works in Barcelona is to discover the essence of a city that combines tradition and avant-garde, Mediterranean roots, and a cosmopolitan spirit. Each building has its own personality, but they all share the genius of an architect who forever transformed art and architecture.
