Modernist routes
THE BEST OF BARCELONA
Modernist architecture is one of the main reasons Barcelona is famous for. I enjoy finding both the most exquisite, as well as the lesser known Modernist gems of the city. Here are a few routes to take and all the stories behind their styles and details.
There’s an amazing array of architects, designers and decorators of the beginning of the 20th century who left a great legacy, and defined a unique style that can’t be found anywhere else.
