01 Sagrada Familia

The Sagrada Familia is the genius work of the world-renowned architect Gaudí, and its construction continues to this day, nearly 100 years after Gaudí's death. It is one of Barcelona's most popular tourist attractions and landmarks, and it is not an exaggeration to say it represents not only Barcelona but also Spain. Recognized for its astonishing artistry, it has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so be sure to visit!

 

02 Park Güell

Park Güell is another of Gaudí's works listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with the Sagrada Familia. The entire park is designed with continuously flowing curves and features vibrant mosaics made from broken tiles. With attractions such as the charming lizard fountain and a museum resembling a gingerbread house from Hansel and Gretel, it has become a major tourist spot in Barcelona.

 

03 Gothic Quarter

The Gothic Quarter, located in the heart of Barcelona's old town, is a historic area that serves as a museum in itself with its medieval alleys preserved into modern times. The area includes medieval buildings as well as Roman-era city walls, showcasing its extensive history. Particularly famous is the Gothic-style street known as the Bishop's Bridge, where many tourists come to see the carving of a skull pierced by a dagger beneath the bridge.
