But first, let’s delve into the fascinating world of modernism and its profound impact on Barcelona’s urban fabric.
The Modernist Movement
The beginning of the 20th century was the time of the cultural renaissance that shaped the modernist movement in Europe. In Barcelona, this eclectic artistic expression reached its fullest incarnation in architecture, and the city turned into a lively canvas of colors, ornate exuberance, and curving lines that beautifully captured the very heart of nature.
The famous architect Antoni Gaudí once said, “The curved line is the line of God,” and this idea is seen in the city’s modernist landmarks. From ceramic tiles and ironwork, the facades are ornamented with (whimsical) shapes to organic forms that defy the law of gravity. Each structure is a creation of the period, which is left over with unbounded creativity and innovation.
Barcelona’s Modernist Treasures
The most obvious thing about Barcelona is the fact that it has the highest number of modernist buildings on the UNESCO World Heritage List, with an amazing nine structures, seven of which were designed by the genius Gaudí. As you walk through the city’s streets, watch for the famous “panot de flor,” or “flower of Barcelona,” paving stones—a characteristic feature that indicates you are in one of the city’s modernist areas.
