CASA BATLLÓ

A renowned building located in the center of Barcelona and is one of Antoni Gaudí’s masterpieces. A remodel of a previously built house, it was redesigned in 1904 by Gaudí and has been refurbished several times after that. The original name for the building is Casa dels ossos (House of Bones), as it has a visceral, skeletal organic quality.

Park Güell is located in the Gràcia district of Barcelona. With urbanization in mind, Eusebi Güell assigned the design of the park to Antoni Gaudí, face of Catalan modernism. The park was built between 1900 and 1914 and was officially opened as a public park in 1926. In 1984, UNESCO declared the park a World Heritage Site under "Works of Antoni Gaudí".
Popularly known as La Pedrera or "The stone quarry", a reference to its unconventional rough-hewn appearance, is a modernist building, which was the last private residence designed by architect Antoni Gaudí and was built between 1906 and 1912. In 1984, it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Barcelona's Montjuïc was selected as the site for several of the venues of the 1992 Summer Olympics, centered on the Olympic stadium. Extensively refurbished and renamed the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, the 65,000-seat stadium saw the opening and closing ceremonies and hosted the athletic events. The ‘magic fountain’ at the skirts of the hill by Plaza España operates at night as it dances for half an hour to the music and color lights appear.
Sitges is a Mediterranean coastal town, located in the Garraf area in the province of Barcelona. Sitges has a warm "microclimate" that makes it possible to enjoy outdoor activities almost every day of the year. Four kilometres of beach with a delightful seafront promenade featuring turn of the 20th century colonial "Indiano" mansions on one side and the sea on the other, makes it always a good excuse for a trip to Sitges.
