Upon entering the church you will be greeted by stunning bright lights, high ceilings and its unique and renewed Gothic style. Making the statements of the Sagrada Famila being the most beautiful Basilica in Barcelona an absolute understatement.
Your tour will continue along the boulevard of Passeig de Gracia to see La Pedrera and Casa Batlló, two amazing buildings which have been designed by Gaudi. Casa Batlló is a very special landmark surrounded by typical Barcelona architecture, making it stand out from its surroundings. Casa Batlló was build in dedication to the legend of Saint George. The colorful ceramic tiles represent the black of the dragon. Even the roof has intricate details that illustrate the story of Saint George and the dragon.
La Pedrera tells a completely different tale, The original name of this artwork was ‘Casa Mila’ due to the fact that the Mila family used to live in this house. La Pedrera Means ‘the stone quarry’ in Spanish. The locals nicknamed the building as such because they did not like the design of the house. Whether or not you like the design, is up to you to decide. However, the building definitely catches your attention.
