Unique buildings
The Palau Güell was designed by the young Gaudí and is a wonderful blend of medieval opulence and the architect"s unique exuberant style. Completed in 1890, the building was the private residence of Gaudí"s patron, Count Güell. The Palau Güell is a designated
UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Barcelona's
Museu-Monestir de Pedralbes is considered to be one of the finest examples of Catalan Gothic architecture and allows us to see the artistic legacy preserved by the community of nuns from the Order of Saint Clare throughout the centuries and to find out about the way they live.
The Modernista Sant Pau Complex was built between 1905 and 1930 and designed by
Lluís Domènech i Montaner as a garden city for nursing the sick. After being used as a public hospital for a century, its newly refurbished pavilions shine again in all their splendour. A visit to this exceptional architectural ensemble is a unique experience.
