The splendour of Modernisme
The Passeig de Gràcia links the Plaça de Catalunya with the old village of Gràcia (from
which it gets its name). Since the construction of the Eixample, important urban
planning project designed by Cerdà in the 19th century, it has been a district of the city. At this stop, you will find some of the finest examples of Catalonia 's home-grown art nouveau movement modernisme, such as the Casa Batlló  , Antoni Gaudí's unique and outstanding architectural jewel, which was built between 1904 and 1906. More than just a building, it has become a legend of the art and architecture of all time. This year marks its centenary. Now you can visit the mezzanine floor, which contains the former apartments of the Batlló family, and the building's most magical spaces, such as the attic and rooftop with its undulating chimneys. Nearby is the Fundació Antoni Tàpies, housed in another interesting building of early Modernisme that the artist himself crowned with an extremely original wire sculpture. Inside, you can discover the creative trajectory of Tàpies, one of the greatest exponents of contemporary art.
