About this activity
Gothic District Explore the Old Barcelona where you will discover the roots of this bi-millennial city, from the Romans to today. It is a nice and easy walk that will transport you to an ancient medieval European city. The Gothic Cathedral, the remains of the Roman Wall, Plaça del Rei (King’s Square): a medieval marvel with the Tower of King Martí, 5 floors high which was built in 1555; Santa Àgata’s chapel (15th Century) and the Saló del Tinell (1359- 1362). It is said that the Catholic monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabela, received Columbus here on his first return from America. Montjuic Hill Montjuic is a prominent hill overlooking the Barcelona harbor. For ages, it played a strategic part in the defense of the city and it’s one of the city’s natural elevations. Nowadays, the area is a touristic magnet for Barcelona. Montjuïch Hill with its parks, art galleries, museums and the 1992 Olympic Ring of sports stadiums, provides spectacular views over the city. Sagrada Familia The jewel in the crown of Gaudi’s works, this temple is a synthesis of his overall conception of architecture. The richness of detail and its significance need explaining in order to appreciate this fascinating and extraordinary building in full. Frightening from outside, but a magic of color inside. Gaudi wanted the temple to be financed voluntarily by the people, not by taxes or public funding, and that’s just what your entrance fees do (included in our tour price): finance the completion of the building started in 1882. This temple is scheduled to be completed by 2026. Park Güell Mr. Güell was a noble, resident in Barcelona and devoted to his plenty of industrial businesses. He was the main sponsor of Gaudi, and he asked the architect to build plenty of different buildings in the city and around. In this fashion, he asked Gaudi to design and build Palau Güell, the sponsor’s home in downtown Barcelona (you can visit it on your own, and is one of the first homes built by Gaudi). He also built, outside Barcelona, the Colonia Güell, a textile factory together with the houses of the workers, the house of the Director, the school, the church…. A little new town. Finally, Mr. Güell asked Gaudi to build his summer house on the hills surrounding Barcelona (today part of the city). In this summer house (not preserved) Gaudi designed and built a very special garden, what we call today Park Güell. Very special place, where imagination and reproduction of nature (Gaudi’s obsession) bleed in every corner. Casa Milà Casa Milà, popularly known as ‘La Pedrera’, (1906–1912) is probably one of the most famous buildings of the Catalan Modernisme or Catalan Art Nouveau period and one of the architects Antoni Gaudí’s most ambitious works. It is classified as UNESCO World Heritage. Gaudí planned Casa Milà at the age of fifty-three when he was at the height of his powers and had found a style of his own. It turned out to be his last civil work and one of the most innovatory, outside the concepts of the time, a work that anticipated the architecture of the 20th century. Casa Batlló Casa Batlló, another of Gaudi’s masterpieces and UNESCO World Heritage site, is not just a building but an artistic legend; hidden behind an exceptional facade which reflects a tranquil sea is a world of surprises and refined architectural details. These apartments building enchants visitors with its remarkable design and the vast repertoire of visual solutions employed.
