W03 Modernisme

Barcelona is famous for its modernist architecture from the likes of Antonio Gaudi, Josep Puig i Cadafalch and Luis Domenech i Montaner.

Modernism has given Barcelona a unique style that goes beyond the purely aesthetic. The streets of Barcelona are like a huge museum, in which the windows, the mosaics and other elements allow us to reconstruct the years between the World Expo of 1888 and the first decade of the twentieth century
