Antoni Gaudi architecture in Barcelona

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.
