BARCELONA
Park Güell
It is a public park with gardens and architectural elements. The park was designed by the architect Antoni Gaudí, the greatest exponent of Catalan modernism, commissioned by the businessman Eusebi Güell. Built between 1900 and 1914, it was inaugurated as a public park in 1926. Park Güell is a reflection of Gaudí's artistic fullness: it belongs to his naturalistic period (first decade of the 20th century), a period in which the architect perfected his personal style, through inspiration in the organic forms of nature, for which he put into practice a whole series of new structural solutions originated in his deep analysis of ruled geometry. The park is listed as a monument declared in the register of Cultural Assets of National Interest of the Catalan heritage and in the register of Assets of Cultural Interest of the Spanish heritage. It is also part of the World Heritage Site declared by UNESCO.

The Holy Family
It is a Catholic basilica in Barcelona, designed by the architect Antoni Gaudí. Begun in 1882, it is still under construction. It is Gaudí's masterpiece, and the greatest exponent of Catalan modernist architecture. It is one of the most visited monuments in Spain, along with the Prado Museum and the Alhambra in Granada, and it is the most visited church in Europe after the Basilica of Saint Peter in the Vatican. When it is finished it will be the tallest Christian church in the world.
The Holy Family is a reflection of Gaudí's artistic fullness: he worked on it for most of his professional career, but especially in the last years of his career, where he reached the culmination of his naturalistic style, making a synthesis of all solutions and styles tested up to then. Gaudí achieved a perfect harmony in the interrelation between structural and ornamental elements, between plasticity and aesthetics, between function and form, between content and container, achieving the integration of all the arts into a structured and logical whole.

Barcelona Cathedral
National Museum of Catalonia
It stands out for its collection of Roman art, one of the most outstanding in the world. Its architectural style can be defined as eclectic or historicist revival according to the taste that prevailed at the time, especially in buildings with commemorative and grandiloquent purposes. Elements of the Renaissance and Baroque were merged in an attempt to combine the most typical and recognizable of Spain with the classicism that was the norm in public buildings. Among all the museum's collections, the one of Romanesque art stands out. The museum exhibits a series of wall paintings that make it unique in the world; they were extracted from their original temples thanks to a support transposition technique called strappo. Various wood carvings, jewelry, enamels and stone sculptures are also displayed. Most of the pieces are samples of Romanesque art in Catalonia and Aragon. Among others that belong to the Gothic period that allow to illustrate this historical period in Catalonia.
