Things To Do In Barcelona

Casa Batllo is a building designed by the architect Antoni Gaudi and belongs to naturalistic stage, first decade of the twentieth century, during which his personal style was inspired by the organic forms of nature.The building was constructed between 1904 and 1906.

La Pedrera – Casa Mila Barcelona is a unique building, built between 1906 and 1912 by the architect Antoni Gaudí and became a World Heritage UNESCO site in 1984. The Casa Mila is the fourth and last of the work of Gaudí in the Paseo de Gracia, which in the past it was the most important avenue of the city, because it connected the old Barcelona and its broken down walls, with the village of Gracia. It is officially named after the family owners who also lived there but was nicknamed “La Pedrera”, which alludes ironically, to the appearance of an open quarry.

The Camp Nou has been the stadium of FC Barcelona since 1957, when the facility opened. With a capacity of 99,354 people, is currently the largest stadium in Europe.

Montjuic Park Barcelona was initially a strategic point for the defense of the city. It is a shallow hill, southwest of downtown with a commanding view over the harbor of the city below. It includes a Botanical Garden and the gardens of Joan Brossa, at the top of the mountain.

Basilica of La Sagrada Familia Barcelona is a Gaudi masterpiece and in 2011, it was reportedly the most visited monument in Spain, with 3.2 million visitors.
