The clearest introduction to Barcelona's high Modernisme era — Casa Batlló, Casa Milà, Casa Amatller, luxury storefronts, and one of the city's grandest urban promenades.
Why It’s Worth Your Time
Passeig de Gràcia is Barcelona's grand boulevard and the clearest introduction to Modernisme architecture. Within two blocks: Casa Batlló (Gaudí's marine-inspired masterpiece), Casa Milà/La Pedrera (his final secular work, with the famous rooftop chimneys), and Casa Amatller (Puig i Cadafalch). The three together form the Manzana de la Discordia — the Block of Discord — for their competing architectural styles. The avenue also hosts Barcelona's luxury shopping. Visit Casa Batlló at opening or for the evening light show.
