Park Güell

Wahrzeichen

This place is an iconic place where Gaudi reflects his art. Although certain areas of the park are free to enter, you must purchase a ticket if you wish to view Gaudi's art. Buying the ticket online will save your hours. In addition, if you are visiting this place for the first time, it will be much more beneficial to explore it with a guided tour. When the legendary Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi was given a lush natural park to develop a hi-profile gated residential community of 60 houses, he planned and directed something that will inspire generations to come. Today, the Park Guell Barcelona receives an annual footfall of around 12 million tourists and most of them come out mesmerized with the architectural wonder. Park Guell by Gaudi was commissioned by Count Eusebi Güell in 1900 and houses attractions like the Dragon Stairway, the Hypostyle Room, and the Porter’s Lodge Pavilion among others.

Casa Milà

Historisch

Casa Milà is a building that fascinates everyone with its exterior. You should definitely see this building and take a souvenir photo in front of it. It is necessary to buy a ticket to visit inside. If your trip to Barcelona is longer than 4 days, you can also spend time inside. Casa Milà, popularly known as La Pedrera or "The stone quarry", a reference to its unconventional rough-hewn appearance, is a modernist building in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It was the last private residence designed by architect Antoni Gaudí and was built between 1906 and 1912. The building was commissioned in 1906 by Pere Milà and his wife Roser Segimon. At the time, it was controversial because of its undulating stone facade, twisting wrought iron balconies and designed by Josep Maria Jujol. Several structural innovations include a self-supporting stone façade, and a free-plan floor, underground garage and the spectacular terrace on the roof. In 1984, it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Casa Batlló

Wahrzeichen

Casa Batlló is one of the most interesting and fascinating buildings in Barcelona. Known by many as the "house of the unexpected".The work of Antoni Gaudí can be seen in every detail of the building. If you have a chance to visit, It'll be really worth it. Tickets are generally sold out, one or two days before. We recommend that you buy the tickets before you go to Barcelona. From the outside the façade of Casa Batlló looks like it has been made from skulls and bones. The "Skulls" are in fact balconies and the "bones" are supporting pillars. Gaudí used colours and shapes found in marine life as inspiration for his creativity in this building e.g. the colours chosen for the façade are those found in natural coral.
