To visit Barcelona is to see Gaudi, and no tourist should miss out on this opportunity as his works are so exceptional that it would be a great shame to miss. The Catholic faith is expressed in the enthralling architecture of the cathedral, The Sagrada Familia, with its total of 18 bell towers, 3 facades and several fine stained glass windows not seen in any other cathedral.
Batllo is one of the most significant buildings designed by Antoni Gaudi, the second being La Pedrera. Found on the Passeig de Gracia its exterior of the Batllo is in the shape of skulls and bones, perhaps the remains of the victims left behind by the dragon balanced high on the rooftop, and which was seemingly struck down by the sword of St. George. Great attention to detail has been paid in the interior from the wooden frames to the mosaic tiles, and it's obvious Gaudi has given every single detail a lot of thought. An installation that even Gaudi himself will admire is Frank O. Gehry's Golden Fish. Placed at the entrance to the two tall celebrated landmarks, the Hotel Arts and the Mapfre Tower, the Fish is the work of one of the most important, modern architects of our time.
