Architecture Guide to Barcelona

$12.00

The most visual architecture guide to Barcelona ever published – more than 50 stunning buildings, designed by some of the world’s greatest architects, presented on a beautifully illustrated map to accompany you on your next trip to the capital of Catalonia.

Barcelona’s architecture is a mesmerizing canvas of creativity and diversity. At its heart lies the Modernisme movement, spearheaded by Antoni Gaudí whose iconic Sagrada Família, Park Güell, and Casa Batlló are featured heavily in our architecture guide, and celebrated worldwide for their organic forms and intricate details. This artistic movement, with its curvaceous lines and nature-inspired motifs, define the region’s unique architectural identity.

Beyond Gaudí’s masterpieces, our architecture guide to Barcelona showcases a wide range of architectural styles, from the historic Gothic Quarter and its medieval structures like the Barcelona Cathedral, to contemporary designs lite the Torre Glòries (formerly Torre Agbar) by Ateliers Jean Nouvel, the colourful Santa Caterina Market by Benedetta Tagliabue – EMBT Architects, and the angular Forum Building by Herzog & de Meuron. The city’s commitment to innovation and material richness is evident in its ever-evolving skyline, making Barcelona a haven for architectural enthusiasts of all types.

This thoroughly researched architecture guide is a must-have for architecture enthusiasts of all ages. It makes travel planning effortless and boasts an up-to-date curated list of buildings not found anywhere else; the perfect pocket-companion for your next trip abroad.
