List of Barcelona Sights

The Palau de la Musica Catala

This is a marvellous structure, one of several World Heritage Sites in Barcelona. Designed by architect Lluis Domenech I Montaner, it is an example of Art Nouveau and dates from the early 20th Century.

Casa Batllo

This is great fun. An apartment building design by the extraordinary Gaudi. It is difficult to describe but it might be based on a giant elephant – see those pillars at street level. Is the roof an image of a giant dinosaur. And are they bird’s nests – the apartment balconies. The only way to decide what you think is to go and see for yourself and gaze! It was built around 1906. You can also enjoy a tour inside, even more amazing. It is open from 9 am to 8 pm and you can get advance entrance tickets.

Temple de la Sagrada Família

You also have to visit the Cathedral de la Sagrada Familia, the great unfinished work of Gaudi and other architects. There is a museum so that you can learn about the evolution of this amazing masterpiece and icon of Barcelona. Take particular note of the Nativity section (on Marina Street). The Cathedral is opened almost every day of the year from 9 am until 6 pm (later in the summer months) and the cost of admission is less than €10 with an additional €4-5 for an audioguide (well worth the extra).
