Michelangelo, Botticelli, Shakespeare, Mozart, Picasso, Prince. Catalan-born Antoni Gaudi is among them. When Gaudi graduated from high school at 18, the school\u2019s headmaster remarked,  <strong>\u201cWe awarded the diploma to<\/strong> <strong>a madman or a genius. Time will tell.\u201d <\/strong> So, if you\u2019re ready to witness architectural genius, here is a brief guide to the host of incredible Gaudi buildings in Barcelona. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Can You Explore Barcelona&#039;s Best Architecture in Just 24 Hours?\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IXAFbs9g-SU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Check out the best Gaudi buildings in Barcelona with local guide Miguel! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-55b66b32-5ae6-4303-82ed-3375f3796bcd\">Today a visitor to Barcelona can spend a couple of days traversing the city to marvel at the works of Antoni Gaudi. His marvelous masterpieces don\u2019t just cause passersby to do a double-take. They stop you, jolt you out of a daydream, and take you captive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-55b66b32-5ae6-4303-82ed-3375f3796bcd\">Gaudi is often lumped in with the Art Nouveau movement of the early 20th century. However, he really has a style all his own.&nbsp;He put his indelible stamp on Barcelona with a small handful of<strong> stop-you-in-your-tracks structures<\/strong> that are like nothing else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-fe92717a\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-fe92717a\" src=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Walks-20180410-Barcelona-Complete-Gaudi-0013_resize-1.jpg\" alt=\"The ornate ceiling of Sagrada Familia in Barcelona features illuminated stained glass, geometric patterns, and tall columns designed by Antoni Gaud\u00ed.

It is also one of the most recognizable structures in Europe. Add the fact that it is the most visited monument in Spain and it will soon be the tallest church in the world, and you would be hard pressed to deny its impressive accolades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_brief_history\"><\/span>A brief history <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-ef1b3a36-74f3-4a4f-9526-cb6716e0d44e\">Construction of the church began in 1882. When Gaudi died in 1926, only a quarter of it was finished. In 2010, construction reached the halfway point. But it has been speeding up in recent years and it is almost complete. In fact, construction is expected to be completed imminently, with the inauguration of the tower of Jesus Christ set for June 10, 2026. This is to coincide with the centenary of Gaud\u00ed&#8217;s death. So, for those not keeping count, that is a mere 144 years in the making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Walks_Barcelona_Sagrada-Highlights-0044-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"guide talking to a group inside a church in barcelona\" class=\"wp-image-16593\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Walks_Barcelona_Sagrada-Highlights-0044-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Walks_Barcelona_Sagrada-Highlights-0044-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Walks_Barcelona_Sagrada-Highlights-0044-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Walks_Barcelona_Sagrada-Highlights-0044.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Let our expert guide clue you in to the genius of Antoni Gaud\u00ed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-0f4a4e55-7faa-4292-9426-4f63cae768b1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_unique_design\"><\/span><strong>A unique design  <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-0f4a4e55-7faa-4292-9426-4f63cae768b1\">However, as you might have guessed, this is no ordinary church. The architect was inspired by what he saw in nature. And this is evident once you stand inside the structure and look up. Pillars are like sturdy trees sprouting toward the heavens. As you may notice, there are very few straight lines and sharp angles in the design of the church. That\u2019s because, as Gaudi put it, there are no straight lines and angles in nature, so there shouldn\u2019t be in his work, either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-0f4a4e55-7faa-4292-9426-4f63cae768b1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ticketsagradafamilia.com\/the-12-towers-of-the-apostles-guardians-of-the-sagrada-familia\/\">The church will include 18 towers in total.<\/a> 12 towers, representing the 12 apostles, 4 for the Evangelists, 1 for the Virgin Mary and 1 central tower for Jesus Christ. The central tower, once completed, will stand at 172.5 meters or 560 feet tall. This will make it the tallest church tower across the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" id=\"block-5b8469f7-ed14-4f1e-a756-ae43b430028c\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Walks-20180410-Barcelona-Complete-Gaudi-0012_resize-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A pair of guests stand next to their guide on a sunny day in Barcelona, with La Sagrada Fam\u00edlia directly in the background.\" class=\"wp-image-12523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Walks-20180410-Barcelona-Complete-Gaudi-0012_resize-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Walks-20180410-Barcelona-Complete-Gaudi-0012_resize-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Walks-20180410-Barcelona-Complete-Gaudi-0012_resize-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Walks-20180410-Barcelona-Complete-Gaudi-0012_resize.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Gaudi&#8217;s magnum opus, the Sagrada Familia is the largest unfinished Catholic church in the world.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-d4576ea9-8c66-49bc-a92c-b5fecba31bcf\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Park_Guell\"><\/span><strong>2.

Originally, they envisioned the park as a residence for the city\u2019s affluent set. The owner of the land, Palau G\u00fcell had intended to build and sell residences on the site. However, they constructed only two of the dozen or so. Which means that today, they are still open to the public to marvel at as they visit  the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" id=\"block-efa5a199-e76e-4368-a837-2b0240164138\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Walks-20180410-Barcelona-Complete-Gaudi-0011.jpg\" alt=\"Two colorful, mosaic-covered Gaud\u00ed buildings Bareclona has to offer.

Located in L\u2019Eixample, the building\u2019s undulating, curving facade evokes a seaside cliff, characteristic of Gaudi philosophy that architecture is best when it references the natural world. The 33 wavy, wrought-iron balconies further elucidate the emphasis on nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-64cd6af1-0647-4b2f-99ec-1d420364e107\">The businessman who commissioned Gaudi to design the building was Pere Mil\u00e0 and he had married into a fortune. Mil\u00e0 was one of the first people in Barcelona to own an automobile, so Gaudi designed the building with an inside parking space, a first for the architect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-c19605d9-cdf7-4a1f-9bf4-8ed58c81ab99\">Visitors are welcome at La Pedrera.

The brightly colorful building with jagged balconies was the first of the Gaudi buildings in Barcelona. The young architect was just 30 years old when he began the three-year project. Today it is one of his lesser-visited buildings and it only opened to the public in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" id=\"block-bb6c1948-c682-4fe2-b789-1f68e8467eb6\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Walks-20180410-Barcelona-Complete-Gaudi-0010_resize-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Casa Vicens, a building by Antoni Gaud\u00ed, displaying its beautiful exterior consisting of various elements including stone, tilework, wood and wrought iron.\" class=\"wp-image-12516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Walks-20180410-Barcelona-Complete-Gaudi-0010_resize-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Walks-20180410-Barcelona-Complete-Gaudi-0010_resize-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Walks-20180410-Barcelona-Complete-Gaudi-0010_resize-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Walks-20180410-Barcelona-Complete-Gaudi-0010_resize.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Another one of Antoni Gaudi&#8217;s remarkable works, Casa Vicens, located in the Gr\u00e0cia neighborhood of Barcelona. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-952a5cd8-604d-4225-8686-0fe13ee3a316\">If you\u2019ve already become accustomed to the undulating waves and curves of La Perdrera and Casa Batllo, for example, you might not recognize the Gaudi style right away at Casa Vicens.

It might not overwhelm you like some of his other buildings, but if you\u2019re in the neighborhood, it\u2019s worth passing by. They erected the building  in 1899 and a year later the Barcelona City Council awarded it \u201cbuilding of the year\u201d. The stone facade is broken up by wrought-iron balconies, a typical Gaudi feature. It\u2019s worth seeing Casa Calvet just to put the architects evolving style into perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\" id=\"block-8a25a3b4-eddd-4720-a25f-d2080142f2b4\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"691\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/calvet2.jpg\" alt=\"One of the more conventional of the Gaudi buildings in Barcelona.\" class=\"wp-image-12499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/calvet2.jpg 691w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/calvet2-600x411.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 691px) 100vw, 691px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Casa Calvet combines older, traditional techniques with <em>modernista<\/em> elements.
