SAGRADA FAMILIA. This structure was begun in 1882 and is still unfinished. One of the most recognizable structures in Barcelona. One cannot do justice to this building in the space available here. Suffice to say that it is a very different structure, which is still being built. It has two main facades, the Nativity, and the Passion. It has a number of sculptures contributed by different artists.
Be aware that in as much as this is a principal attraction in the city, it draws tourists from every country in earth. You may wish to consult hours of operation

CASA MILA (LA PEDRERA). Along with the Sagrada familia, this building is one of the most recognizable in Barcelona. Fully restored, it has now the splendor Gaudi intended. At one point the attic had been modified to include some thirteen apartments (they are now gone). An important feature of this building is the roof which contains several chimneys. Their shade and style have become a symbol of Barcelona. |
 |
 CASA CALVET. This building dates
from 1888 - 89. Here Gaudi developed a new concept in the use of
decorations and fixtures which took him to the more vegetation type of
forms of the Modernist movement.
Bulging balconies alternate with smaller and shallower
balconies. In 1900 this building was awarded a
prize by the Barcelona city hall. This is generally considered Gaudi’s
more mainstream work. |

TERESIANES ORDER SCHOOL. In this building Gaudi uses for the first time continuous parabolic arches as a structural solution to avoid beams foe floors and roofs. |
