the sea and terra firma, a meeting place and melting pot of some
of the most important Mediterranean cultures across the centuries.
The historical and artistic legacy left by these civilizations is
perfectly reflected by its rich and varied architectural heritage.
If architecture attracts you, you’ll find Roman ruins, medieval
buildings, and above all, modernisme, the home-grown art nouveau
style that is most emblematic of the city. Barcelona has nine
buildings listed as World Heritage sites, as well as the best that
cutting-edge architecture has to offer.

Modernisme, the Catalan equivalent of art nouveau or the modern
style, spanned the late 19th and early 20th century and, in
Barcelona, is most exemplified by the architecture and the applied
arts. Most of the city’s modernista buildings are located in the
Quadrat d’Or, or Golden Square, a residential area located in the
Eixample district, which marked the beginning of the city’s expansion
