,
collected

We

La Pedrera
Esta
obra-prima
de
Gaudí
foi
construída
em
1905–1010
como
um
bloco
combinado
de
apartamentos
e
escritórios.
Formalmente
chamada
Casa
Milà
,
em
homenagem
ao
empresário
que
a
encomendou,
é
mais
conhecida
como
La
Pedrera
(a
pedreira)
por
causa
de
sua
fachada
de
pedra
cinza
irregular,
que ondula na esquina da Carrer de Provença.
O
telhado
é
o
elemento
mais
extraordinário,
com
seus
gigantes
chaminés
parecendo
cavaleiros medievais multicoloridos.
Um
andar
abaixo
do
teto,
onde
podemos
apreciar
o
gosto
de
Gaudí
pelos
arcos
parabólicos,
é
um
modesto
museu
dedicado
ao
seu
trabalho.
O
próximo
andar
abaixo
é
o
apartamento (El Pis de la Pedrera).
Park Güell
North
of
Gràcia,
Unesco-listed
Park
Güell
is
where
architect
Antoni
Gaudí
turned
his
hand
to
landscape
gardening.
It’s
a
strange,
enchanting
place
where
his
passion
for
natural
forms
really
took
flight
and
the
artificial
almost
seems more natural than the natural.
Park
Güell
was
created
in
1900,
when
Count
Eusebi
Güell
bought
a
tree-covered
hillside
and
hired
Gaudí
to
create
a
miniature
city
of
houses
for
the
wealthy
in
landscaped
grounds.
The
project
was
a
commercial
flop
and
was
abandoned
in
1914
–
but
not
before
Gaudí
had
created
3km
of
roads
and
walks,
steps,
a
plaza
and
two
gatehouses
in
his
inimitable
manner.
In
1922
the
city
bought
the
estate
for
use
as
a
public park.
La Barceloneta
Since
the
late
20th
century,
Barcelona
's
formerly
industrial
waterfront
has
experienced
a
dramatic
transformation,
and
now
boasts
sparkling
beaches
and
seaside
bars
and
restaurants,
elegant
sculptures,
a
4.5km-long
boardwalk,
ultramodern
high-rises
and
yacht-
filled marinas.
Casa Vicens
A
Unesco-listed
masterpiece,
Casa
Vicens
was
first
opened
regularly
to
the
public
in
2017.
The
angular,
turreted
1885-completed
private
house
created
for
stock
and
currency
broker
Manuel
Vicens
i
Montaner
was
Gaudí’s
inaugural
commission,
when
the
architect
was
aged
just
30.
Tucked
away
west
of
Gràcia’s
main
drag,
the
richly
detailed
facade
is
awash
with ceramic colour and shape.
Castillo de Montjuïc
This
forbidding
castell
(castle
or
fort)
dominates
the
southeastern
heights
of
Montjuïc
and
enjoys
commanding
views
over
the
Mediterranean.
It
dates,
in
its
present
form,
from
the
late
17th
and
18th
centuries.
For
most
of
its
dark
history,
it
has
been
used
to
watch
over
the
city
and
as
a
political
prison
and
killing
ground.
Fundació Joan Miró
Joan
Miró,
the
city’s
best-known
20th-century
artistic
progeny,
bequeathed
this
art
foundation
to
his
home
town
in
1971.
Its
light-
filled
buildings,
designed
by
close
friend
and
architect
Josep
Lluís
Sert,
are
crammed
with
seminal
works,
from
Miró’s
earliest
timid
sketches to paintings from his last years.
Plaça de les Cascades
Fountains
and
waterfalls
descend
from
the
terraces
of
the
Palau
National.
Underneath
is
the magic fountain.
Arenas de Barcelona
Housed
inside
the
city's
old
bull
ring,
Las
Arenas
is
one
of
the
city's
best
shopping
malls.
From
the
outside,
it
still
features
the
old
arched
windows
and
Moorish
designs.
The
open-air
roof top offers spectacular city views.
El Museu Picasso
The
Picasso
museum
is
a
key
reference
for
understanding
the
formative
years
of
Pablo
Picasso.
The
genius
of
the
young
artist
is
revealed
through
the
4,251
works
that
make
up
the
permanent
collection.
The
Picasso
museum
is
very
rich
in
regard
to
work
from
the
formative
years
in
the
life
of
the
artist;
it
is
practically
exhaustive
up
to
the
Blue
Period.
The
Museum
also
houses
an
important
representation
of
works
from
1917,
and
the
series
Las
Meninas
(1957)
as
well
as
a
comprehensive print collection.
