Revel in Barcelona's modernist architecture as you stroll through the Golden Square district. Here, the imagination of Catalan architects, Gaudí, Montaner, and Cadafalch, ran riot as they designed buildings to accommodate the expanding city. Don't miss Gaudí's La Pedrera, which has no straight lines or sharp corners!
Between 1860 and 1920, Barcelona expanded to accommodate its growing number of inhabitants, creating the Eixample district. The Golden Square, at the heart of this development, became a mecca of modernism. Catalan architects, notably Gaudi, Montaner, and Cadalfach, created fanciful façades and eye-catching masterpieces, worthy of any museum. During this walking tour, you'll see many extravagant designs as your guide explains the concepts and innovation behind the movement's experimentation with building types and shapes.
