Ancient to Modern: Behind the scenes
of Barcelona’s urban architecture
4 hours
12+
Max 8
You’ve probably heard of Gaudí (and if not, it’s about time!), but his beautiful world-famous pieces were not created in an architectural vacuum!
This urban architecture experience blends the old with the new, revealing how Barcino—the ancient Roman city—evolved into the Barcelona we know (and love) today, celebrated worldwide for its Catalan Modernism.
This tour isn’t just for architecture enthusiasts; it’s also for those curious about the tangled and often challenging reality of a 2,000-year-old city that has transformed over time.
Unlike many other European cities, Barcelona’s streets and facades narrate the stories of legendary artists, wealthy patrons, and a resilient local community striving not only to preserve its culture but to celebrate it in any way possible.
Walk with us through time and space while we share with you hard realities, the communities that overcame them and the beautiful city that grew from it – this experience is one you will never forget.
We will discover
Passeig de Gràcia – Elegance and Architecture Collidee
Casa Batlló – Gaudí’s Ocean-Inspired Masterpiece
Casa Milà (La Pedrera) – Stone Waves of Innovation
Ildefons Cerdà Plaque – The Man Behind the Grid
The Chamfered Corners – Geometry That Breathes
