Sagrada Familia
Park Güelll
Barcelona is a beautiful seaside city with a rich culture, legendary architecture, and top-notch nightlife. This seaside city appears to draw all different kinds of tourists, from the peaceful paths of the vibrant Park Güell to the charmingly tight lanes of Barri Gotic; from the beachside nightclubs to the city's hundreds of holy churches and architectural wonders. Here are the best attractions in Barcelona that you must visit.
Visitors to the Catalan capital must view the Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia, which many locals consider to be the monument that best represents Barcelona. The church, which was first intended to be a straightforward Roman Catholic building honoring Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, developed into the most renowned example of Catalan Modernism. The basilica, created by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi, is a physical representation of Gaudi's belief that God created the world.
Interesting Fact: Gaudi made an effort to combine complex scientific metaphors with Christian terminology and biblical allegories.

The city's favorite location has a swaying balcony, the vibrant Guard's House, and a stunning view of the sea and the city of Barcelona in the distance. It serves as a good representation of Barcelona, a vibrant, diverse city with a Mediterranean feel. Antoni Gaudi created the architectural gem Park Güell, which features undulating designs that perfectly complement each other and columns in the shape of trees.
Why Visit: An unmatched Gaudi technique that brings the elements of Gaudi to life is the colors of the broken tile mosaics that cover the surface of the pieces.

from €10One of the most peculiar residences in all of Europe is Casa Batlló, built in 1904–1906. Gaudi is at his most fantastical here.

Interesting Fact: Gaudi went all out inside and out when he was hired to redesign this building. Deep-sea blue tiles shine in internal light wells. The fundamental foundation of the building exudes a very modern and distinctive vibe.
