The Works of Antoni Gaudí in and around Barcelona represent an extraordinary creative contribution to late 19th- and early 20th-century architecture and Modernisme. Inscribed by UNESCO across seven monumental sites, Gaudí’s organic structures combine nature-inspired structural geometry, lively Catalan tilework (trencadís), and revolutionary engineering.
