The park is down in the city of Barcelona, surrounded by buildings.

Palau Guell is another architectural charm designed by Antonio Gaudi. It is one of the most compelling and earliest examples of modern architecture. Some parts of the facade of the Palace Guell are reminiscent of a Vatican Palace, which takes you through the time loop to see and feel the beauty of this building.
This architectural art was declared UNESCO’s world heritage in 1984. The building is often called “The stone quarry” and was the last private residence designed by Gaudi. The building is a beautiful art piece because of this undulating facade and surrealist sculptural roof. Gaudi’s design appears much more organic as if it is directly carved from the ground.
Casa Vicens is known as the first project of Antonio Gaudi. Visit this building to see the protruding elements on the facade of the Casa Vicens. The color choice Gaudi has used for this building contributed to Barcelona being a colorful city. Gaudi used Morrish and oriental architecture to create this beautiful masterpiece.
Often known as the temple of Gaudi, it is still under construction. Gaudi worked on this project until his death and created the best-known structure of Catalan Modernisme. This structure stands still with the anticipation of Antoni Gaudi attracting over three million visitors annually. You can witness the passion and talent of Antoni and know why he is known as one of the best architects with Sagrada Familia.
This building is in the heart of Barcelona, designed by Gaudi. It seems that the goal of Gaudi was to avoid the straight line completely. And the roof and architectural figures will provide you with a furnished look at the past. Its design makes it the masterpiece of Gaudi, which you can’t miss when visiting Barcelona.
There were six out of the eight heritage buildings designed by Antonio Gaudi. The other two world heritage sites are Palau de la Música Catalana and Hospital de Sant Pau. The history and the architectural designs make the Barcelona heart of the Spain.
