Barcelona is a modern, cosmopolitan city, but has inherited many centuries of history. Its geographic location and the open character of its inhabitants are the reasons why the city is being culturally enriched all the time. It has a valuable architectural and monumental heritage, the most splendid exponents of which are its Gothic and modernista buildings. Five of its buildings have been designated World Heritage Sites. The entire city guarantees that visitors will enjoy taking a stroll around its streets which are replete with charm

A walk through the most unusual Modernista art. At the beginning of the 20th century, Barcelona embarked on a process of widespread urban renewal and built its signature Eixample district, which showcases some of its most characteristic modernista buildings. Antoni Gaudí was one of the most eminent architects of the time, with works such as the Casa Milà (known as La Pedrera), the Casa Batlló and the Sagrada Família church
