Found in the center of Barcelona, this architectural jewel is one of the masterpieces of the renowned Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi, the author of the world-famous church La Sagrada Familia that is located just a few kilometers away.

Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984, the buildings is notable for a number of unusual architectural features such as twisting wrought iron balconies and self-supporting stone facade.

Because of its extraordinary appearance, this iconic building has been very popular with tourists and it has even been featured in several movies and books.
