Guia Arquitectura Catalonia : Historic + Contemporary Architecture Guide photo © adrian welch Barcelona is capital of Catalonia, an autonomous region of Spain. It is Spain's major Mediterranean port and famous for Gaudi, Dali, Miro and Picasso. The city is strong commercially compared to the rest of Spain in an similar way to say Milan and the rest of Italy. The Olympics were staged in Barcelona in 1992 and provided a legacy of good contemporary architecture with many buildings by famous architects. Barcelona Architecture The most famous Barcelona building is surely Sagrada Familia by Spanish architect Gaudi. Still under construction, we feature photos of this iconic piece of architecture. The centre of the city - Barri Gothic - is formed from a Roman village, tight-knit alleys, squares and charming cheek-by-jowl buildings. Located outwith is a civilised grid of avenues, Eixample, cut through by the Diagonal. This order is terminated by the hills that ring Barcelona, and of course the Mediterranean Sea. picture © adrian welch Key Barcelona Buildings Architecture, chronological: Barcelona Cathedral Building, Barri Gotic - image © aw   Sagrada Familia : iconic Barcelona Building Antoni Gaudi, Architect photograph © adrian welch   Casa Batlo, Eixample Antoni Gaudi, Architect photo © isabelle lomholt   Casa Mila Barcelona - La Pedrera, Eixample Antoni Gaudi, Architect picture © adrian welch   Park Guell Barcelona, north of the city Antoni Gaudi, Architect image © aw Classic Gaudi Architecture   Barcelona Pavilion building, Hill of Montjuic Mies van der Rohe, Architect picture © adrian welch World-famous Modern Architecture   Montjuic Tower, Hill of Montjuic Santiago Calatrava, Architect photo © aw   Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art Richard Meier & Partners, Architects photograph © adrian welch   Barcelona Forum Building, Diagonal Mar Herzog & de Meuron Architects image © adrian welch   Santa Caterina Market, Barri Gotic Enric Miralles / Benedetta Tagliabue EMBT picture © isabelle lomholt   Agbar Tower, Barcelona skyscraper Jean Nouvel Architects photo © aw Nou Camp Stadium Barcelona Building Foster + Partners, Architects image : Foster + Partners Barcelona Buildings - complete alphabetical listing of the city's architecture Barcelona Architects Barcelona Pavilion Photos photo © aw Antoni Gaudi buildings Barcelona Architecture Key buildings only, alphabetical:   L`Auditori Concert Building Rafael Moneo Architects photograph © Thomas Boczko Barcelona Concert Building   Auditoria Park, Diagonal Mar Foreign Office Architecture photo © isabelle lomholt Parc dels Auditoris   Bac de Roda Felipe II Bridge Santiago Calatrava Architects image © Thomas Boczko Calatrava Bridge, west Barcelona   Barcelona Airport, Prat of Llobregat Ricardo Bofill, Architect picture © aw Barcelona Aeroport Buildings    Barcelona Cathedral, Barri Gotic - photo © aw Barcelona Cathedral building   Blanquerna Url, Ciutat Vella various Architects picture © isabelle lomholt Blanquerna Url, Faculty Buildings   Barcelona Centre of Contemp.
