AREA HIGHLIGHTS
Casa Mila
Also known as La Pedrera and built between 1906 and 1912, this was the last building designed by Gaudí. Due to its grandeur and uniqueness, it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List for its universal value. The Casa Batlló, located in the city centre, is known as one of Gaudí's greatest masterpieces! It was designed in 1904 by Gaudi on an earlier house, and has been restored several times since then. The house is also known as Casa dels Ossos (House of Bones) because of its skeletal quality and lack of straight lines.
Sagrada Familia
This is another work by Gaudi that is still under construction. This colossal Roman Catholic church began its construction in 1882 and to this day is one of Barcelona's most iconic landmarks. The cathedral was actually started by Francisco de Paula del Villar y Lozano, and it was in 1883 that Gaudi decided to devote his life, money and efforts to the monument. In 1926 he sadly died and, of course, the cathedral was left unfinished. The estimated date of its completion is 2020.
