Gaudí & Modernisme
The buildings that taught a city to curve.
Modernisme
The buildings that taught a city to curve.
Introduction
Between 1888 and 1926, Barcelona's merchant class commissioned an architecture unlike anything before or since. Gaudí was its genius, but not its whole story: Domènech i Montaner and Puig i Cadafalch built with equal audacity, often on the same block. Walk the Passeig de Gràcia for the famous façades, then seek out the quieter masterpieces — a concert hall of stained glass, a hospital designed to heal by beauty.

Gaudí's marine fantasy on Passeig de Gràcia — the bone-like balconies read best from across the street.
Casa Milà's undulating stone and warrior-chimney rooftop; the night visit is worth the premium.
Domènech i Montaner's concert hall under an inverted dome of stained glass — hear music here if you can.
Gaudí's first house, a Moorish-tiled surprise in Gràcia, open to visitors since 2017.
The young Gaudí's dark, theatrical townhouse just off the Rambla — start in the stables.
A garden city of Modernista pavilions, five minutes' walk from the Sagrada Família and a fraction of the crowd.
