Sagrada Família, Residential neighborhood in Eixample, Barcelona, Spain
The Sagrada Família district forms a part of the Eixample area, featuring wide streets arranged in a geometric grid pattern with modernist buildings.
The neighborhood developed during Barcelona's expansion in the late 19th century, following Ildefons Cerdà's urban planning that transformed agricultural land into residential zones.
Local establishments in the district maintain Catalan traditions through family-owned restaurants, specialty food shops, and regular neighborhood celebrations.
Metro stations Sagrada Família and Encants connect the area to central Barcelona, while numerous bus lines provide additional transportation options.
The district contains both the Sagrada Família basilica and the Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site, connected by the pedestrian-friendly Gaudí Avenue.

Antoni Gaudí shaped Barcelona's cityscape with his modernist buildings that combine organic forms, natural motifs and structural innovations. His work spans more than four decades and includes residential buildings, parks, churches and experimental structures. The Sagrada Família, his monumental basilica under construction since 1882, demonstrates his understanding of geometry and light. Casa Batlló and Casa Milà show his ability to transform facades into sculptural surfaces, while Park Güell implements his vision of architecture within nature. Beyond Barcelona, projects like El Capricho in Comillas and the crypt at Colònia Güell in Santa Coloma de Cervelló demonstrate Gaudí's influence across Catalonia. His early works, including Casa Vicens and Palau Güell, document his evolution from traditional historicism to his characteristic style. The Gaudí House Museum in Park Güell provides insight into his life and working methods. These buildings are distributed throughout the city and mostly accessible to visitors, though some remain residential or operational.
