Gaudí Tour (4h)
“I presented a diploma today, to a madman or to a genius. Time will tell” said the Architecture Chair at the University of Barcelona about Antoní Gaudi. Let’s answer this question visiting some of his constructions:
– Passeig the Gràcia became the avenue where the wealthy Catalan families settled in the late nineteenth century. An emerged social class, that promoted the beginning of the economic development of Catalonia (now, the richest area of Spain). Casa Batlló and La Pedrera are some of its buildings.
– The Park Güell, a luxury residential site, was the reality of a utopia for his friend and patron, Eusebi Güell.
– The church of La Sagrada Família is the masterpiece of Gaudí, still unfinished and landmark of Barcelona.
