When we think of historic architecture, we tend to think of ancient Greek and Roman structures and facades. However, less than 200 years ago, one architect profoundly influenced the look and feel of Barcelona for the better. That architect is Antoni Gaud\u00ed, whose works closely followed the modernista movement blossoming at that time.<\/p>\n

Gaud\u00ed and his role in the modernista movement<\/h2>\n

Born in Reus in 1852, Gaud\u00ed received a degree in architecture in Barcelona in 1878. Inspired by nature and organic influences, his modern designs dared to deviate from the norm. Although he followed the modernista movement, he had his own distinct style marked by floral, reptilian, baroque and geometic designs.<\/p>\n

In fact, the most-visited attraction is the Sagrada Familia, a massive basilica<\/a> which was not completed during his lifetime, and is in fact still under construction! It\u2019s on track to be completed by 2026, exactly 100 years after his death.<\/p>\n

Some of his other notable works include Casa Batll\u00f3, a home designed with skulls as balconies and vivid ceramic tiles mimicking the color of sea coral. The Park G\u00fcell is a showcase of various sculptures, tiles and buildings designed by Gaud\u00ed for the aristocracy.<\/p>\n

Barcelona, the city of enchantment<\/h2>\n

All throughout Barcelona<\/a> you can see Gaud\u00ed\u2019s work, but this seaside city has plenty more to offer. Wine and tapas enthusiasts can find great opportunities around every corner, as well as a bounty of museums full of inspiration works. And for those who enjoy a romantic and magical nightlife, Barcelona is as good as it gets for an enchanting night you won\u2019t forget!<\/p>\n

The city itself is one of Spain\u2019s top tourist destinations due to its charming location, beautiful building, and abundance of things to do and see. Gaud\u00ed chose a great place to make his mark!<\/p>\n
