Works of Antoni Gaudí, World Heritage architectural ensemble in Barcelona and Colònia Güell, Spain.
These architectural masterworks feature organic forms inspired by nature, incorporating colorful mosaics, curved lines, and innovative structural techniques that revolutionized early 20th-century design.
Created between 1883 and 1926, these structures emerged during Catalonia's Modernisme movement, with the Sagrada Família beginning construction in 1882 and remaining unfinished today.
The works embody Catalan cultural identity through religious symbolism, local craftsmanship traditions, and artistic expression that reflects the region's distinctive heritage and creative renaissance.
Visitors can explore multiple sites across Barcelona including Park Güell, Casa Batlló, Casa Milà, and the experimental crypt at Colònia Güell with guided tours available.
Gaudí developed revolutionary construction techniques using catenary arches, hyperboloid vaults, and trencadís mosaic work that had never been applied in architecture before his innovations.
