Barcelona is a magnificent seaside city with an abundance of culture, legendary architecture, and a world-class drinking and dining scene. Barcelona's architectural gems date back over 2000 years. A peek into Roman-era Barcino is provided by colossal temple columns, historic city walls, and subterranean stone passages. Here are the top landmarks in Barcelona:
Top 21 Landmarks in Barcelona
1. Sagrada Familia
Historical | Architecture
Many inhabitants regard the Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia to be the symbol of Barcelona, and it is a must-see for visitors to the Catalan metropolis. Originally intended to be a basic Roman Catholic church dedicated to Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, the church evolved into Catalan Modernism's most notable exemplar. The basilica, designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi, embodies Gaud's concept that nature is God's work. Gaud attempted to blend Christian language and biblical allegories with complicated science metaphors.
Why Visit: The structure is even more stunning and grand in person, so don’t miss out on the grand facade of the monument.

from €50
2. Park Guell
Sightseeing | Architecture
Park Güell is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. The city's favorite spot features a waving balcony and the colorful Guard's House, with the glorious Barcelona cityscape and sea in the background. It's also a good illustration of Barcelona: a creative, multicultural city with a Mediterranean vibe. With tree-shaped columns and undulating shapes that blend in perfect harmony, Antoni Gaudi built Park Güell, an architectural marvel. The colors of the shattered tile mosaics that cover the surface of the elements are an unrivaled Gaudi approach that brings these forms to life.
Tip: Do not forget to pre-book your tickets and slot before visiting Park Guell as it has lately become a hotspot for tourists.

3. Casa Batllo
Historic | Sightseeing
Casa Batlló (constructed 1904–6) is one of Europe's strangest residential buildings. It is Gaudi at his surreal finest. This apartment tower is one of the most iconic architecture in a city where the architectural stakes are sky-high, from its playful facade and marine-world influence to its pioneering experimentation in light and architectural form (straight lines are rare and far between). When Gaudi was hired to redesign this structure, he went all out both inside and out. Internal light wells glisten with deep-sea blue tiles. The very core of the structure gives a very fresh and unique vibe.
Interesting fact: Locals call this structure many names, like the house of bones or the house of the dragon because of its unusual architecture.

from €35
4. Casa Mila
Sightseeing | Architecture
This zany Unesco-listed gem, with 33 decks, was constructed in 1905–10 as a combination apartment and office tower and is at the pinnacle of Gaudi's achievements. It was originally known as Casa Milà, but it is more often known as La Pedrera due to its uneven grey stone front that ripples along the corner of Carrer de Provença. The way Gaudi handles space and light, as well as the dissolving of the border between ornamentation and functionality, is remarkable. The natural world was one of Gaudi's most persistent inspirations, and it is quite evident from the rippling nature of Casa Milà.
Interesting Fact: Pere Milà, the building's commissioner, was one of the city's first vehicle owners, and Gaudi included parking space in the structure, which was a first.

5. Camp Nou
Entertainment | Sports
Camp Nou was constructed between 1954 and 1957, and it was officially inaugurated with a match between FC Barcelona and a group of players from Warsaw. Apart from sports, Camp Nou has been utilized for a variety of reasons, including holding large concerts. On November 17, 1982, Pope John Paul II was made an honorary citizen of Barcelona and celebrated mass for a crowd of approximately 121,500 people at Camp Nou. Julio Iglesias performed in front of 90,000 spectators at Camp Nou in 1983 and 1988, and Bruce Springsteen performed in front of 90,000 supporters.
Tip: If you are able to get a ticket to an FC Barcelona game at Camp Nou, do not miss that opportunity to experience Camp Nou at its best.

6. Barcelona Cathedral
Religious | Historic
The principal place of worship in Barcelona is a wonderful sight. It stands out from other Barcelona churches thanks to its ornate main facade, which is adorned with gargoyles and stone intricacy typical of northern European Gothic. The interior is a large, soaring expanse separated by lines of exquisite, slim pillars into a central nave and two aisles. The cathedral was one of the few churches in Barcelona spared by anarchists during the civil war, therefore its sparse adornment has survived. You can visit the cathedral during normal praying times free of charge.
Interesting Fact: The facade was built between 1887 and 1890. The rest of the structure dates from 1298 to 1460.

7. Barcelona Aquarium
Leisure | Family-Friendly
It's difficult not to panic when you see a shark swimming above you, revealing its toothy, wide-mouthed grin – but this 80-meter shark tunnel is the showpiece of one of Europe's largest aquariums. Barcelona's aquarium, which juts out into the harbor, houses the world's best Mediterranean collection, as well as a plethora of colorful species from the Red Sea, the Caribbean, and the Great Barrier Reef. Here live 11,000 critters from 450 different species. There are a variety of different creatures to observe, including flapping rays and the scary Mediterranean moray.

8. Barcelona Zoo
Kid-Friendly | Leisure
The zoo in Barcelona is home to around 2000 animals, including geckos, gorillas, lions, elephants, and Iberian wolves, as well as pony rides, picnic spots, and an adventure playground. Barcelona officials enacted restrictions in 2019 limiting the reproduction of animals until they've been released into the wild; many animals are likely to be transported to nature reserves. It is one of the best places to head to Barcelona if you are visiting with kids. The zoo is located in close proximity to other attractions which makes it a great choice for a day out.
Tip: Visit the zoo on a cool day so that you can see most of the animals out and about.

9. Poble Espanyol

10. Plaça de Catalunya
Leisure
Plaça de Catalunya, located at the crossroads of the old city and L'Eixample, is the city's principal transportation hub for buses and trains, as well as a convenient meeting location. It's a vast square with beautiful fountains and statues, and it's bustling with street vendors, visitors, and families feeding pigeons. If you are visiting the city to get to know it from the inside, Plaça de Catalunya is the place to head to. During the late hours of the day, the square becomes especially busy and is pulsating with life. You can head to Plaça de Catalunya after finishing your sightseeing for the day.
Tip: Be careful about your belongings here as Plaça de Catalunya is quite popular with tourists and therefore is a favorite hunting ground for pickpockets and other miscreants.

11. Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya
Museum | Architecture
The Palau Nacional's stunning neo-baroque silhouette may be seen on Montjuc's hills from anywhere in Barcelona.

The highlight is a collection of magnificent Romanesque frescoes. This structure has become one of the city's most prominent emblems of the region's distinct Catalan identity, but the fact that it was built during Miguel Primo de Rivera's centralist dictatorship adds a touch of irony.
Tip: Don’t miss the Romanesque art collection of the museum, which is considered to be the finest collection of medieval art.

14. Basílica de Santa Maria del Mar
Religious | Architecture
Santa Maria del Mar, Barcelona's best Catalan Gothic church, is located on the southern end of Passeig del Born. The church, which was begun in 1329 under the supervision of architects Berenguer de Montagut and Ramon Despuig, is notable for its architectural harmony and simplicity. The parishioners, particularly the stevedores from the surrounding port, famously gave up their time to help build the chapel. The central nave and two flanking aisles' attractive unity of shape and symmetry owes much to the church's lightning-fast construction – a scant 54 years.
Interesting Fact: The church has been the victim of vandalism many times. In 1936, the church was set on fire and burnt for 11 days straight.

This angular, turreted 1885-finished private residence, a Unesco-listed masterpiece, was Gaud's first commission, completed when the architect was barely 30 years old, for stock and currency broker Manuel Vicens I Montaner. The elaborately designed exterior tucked away west of Gràcia's main thoroughfare, is flooded with ceramic color and shape, including characteristic marigold tiling, and was unveiled to the public in 2017.
