Antoni Gaudi's Amazing Sites
The Sagrada Familia
We've got one man to thank thank for several of Barcelona's most popular attractions. Antoni Gaudi, the late Catalan architect, responsible for one of the most popular tourist attractions across the whole of Spain let alone just Barcelona, the UNESCO World Heritage Site that is the Sagrada Familia.
The Sagrada Familia is the yet unfinished basilica that stands proudly in the centre of Barcelona and is probably one of the most recognizable landmarks the city (and country) has to offer.
The construction for the Sagrada Familia began in 1882 and it was due to be completed in 2026 but sadly due to various reasons the completion date has been delayed. The Sagrada Familia attracts an estimated 20,000,000 visitors each year that visit the area just to view it from the outside and with around 7,000,000 purchasing tickets to see the inside of the property, the Sagrada Familia is probably the most popular tourist attraction in Barcelona.
We offer various ticket types for the Sagrada Familia from just fast-track access to guided tours to access to the Sagrada Familia Towers. Our link below takes you to our Sagrada Familia home page where our most popular ticket options are listed.

Casa Batlló
Another of Gaudi's designs, Casa Batlló, is again an incredibly popular tourist attraction in Barcelona. Gaudi was given full creative control over the property in 1903 and in 1906 presented the completed project to the building owners, Mr. Josep Batlló y Casanovas. In 2005 Casa Batlló was also given UNESCO World Heritage Site status as part of the 'Works of Gaudi' collection and Casa Batlló now welcomes around 1,000,000 visitors each year to enjoy its incredible designs. Even looking at the property from the outside, you can tell its a Gaudi design and its not your standard house, which is why it welcomes so many visitors each year, to enjoy Gaudi's design.

Park Güell
Antoni Gaudi's magical Park Güell, one of Barcelona's most famous park's. Named after the original land owner, Eusebi Güell, the land was originally given to Gaudi for him to design a housing estate for the wealthy to retreat to at the weekends, however with only two properties being completed and due to budget issues, the project was abandoned with the land then being converted into a park instead enabling locals and tourists alike to enjoy Gaudi's magical design. Gaudi designed the park to incorporate special areas such as the famous Monumental Zone. Park Güell is another Gaudi UNESCO World Heritage Site and welcomes over 1,000,000 visitors each year.
Casa Milà - La Pedrera
Casa Milà or often known by its nickname of 'La Pedrera' due to its looking like an open-quarry from the front of it, is another Antoni Gaudi property and yet another of his UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Gaudi was famous for his love of nature and including it in the design of his creations and Casa Milà La Pedrera is no exception. Its roof features incredible chimney stacks which resemble medieval knights and ancient warriors (do your chimney stacks do the same!) and Casa Milà La Pedrera has also been featured in various Hollywood movies!
