Parc de la Ciutadella is an open air museum with architecture, history and art dating back as far as the 18th century. Originally a feared citadel and later a location of the 1888 World’s Fair, the park features work from Barcelona’s iconic sculptors and architects.
The Gaudà Exhibition Center is situated in the medieval Casa de la Pia Almoina, which incorporates the old Roman wall and ancient entrance to Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. The museum consists of 1,000 square metres, distributed over three floors covering the life and work of the great Catalan architect.

Located just steps from La Rambla, Palau Güell is one of Antoni GaudÃ’s earliest architectural triumphs and a cornerstone of his creative evolution. Commissioned by industrialist Eusebi Güell in the 1880s and completed in 1888, this urban palace in Barcelona’s Raval district blends Gothic revival with Catalan Modernisme, Moorish motifs, and Art Nouveau flair.
