A good example of the l'Eixample architecture, this magnificent building stands on the Passeig de Gràcia since 1918.
Also known as the Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família (Catalan, literally: Basilica and Expiatory Church of the Holy Family).
The Sagrada Família is a large Roman Catholic church in Barcelona designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926). Although incomplete, the church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and was consecrated and proclaimed a minor basilica by Pope Benedict XVI during his visit to Barcelona in November 2010.
Though construction of Sagrada Familia had commenced in 1882, Gaudi took over in 1883, transforming the project with his architectural and engineering style — combining Gothic and curvilinear, Art Nouveau forms with ambitious structural columns and arches.
Gaudi devoted his last years to the project and at the time of his death in 1926, less than a quarter of the project was complete. Sagrada Familia's construction progressed slowly as it relied on private donations and was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War — only to resume intermittent progress in the 1950s. Construction passed the mid-point in 2010 with some of the project's greatest challenges remaining and an anticipated completion date of 2026 — the centennial of Gaudí's death.

Eixample is the "new city" in Barcelona. Meaning "the expansion," it's the part of Barcelona designed in the late 18th and early 19th century just north of the Old City. Its streets are very orderly -- a square grid -- with a few diagonal avenues running through it.
You'll primarily find 5-6 story buildings where the ground floor is commercial (restaurants, markets, bodegas, etc.) and all the upper floors are residential. At each intersection, all the corners are slightly recessed to form a small circle.
From street level, you'll notice the balconies, mostly wrought-iron or of a uniform color. If you can find a way to see an aerial view of Eixample, you'll definitely see how square and orderly the street layout is.

a view along one of the broad avenues in Barcelona's Exiample (seen in the satellite view of the previous photo); tree-lines thoroughfares in this well-planned neighborhood, dating from the 19th century, are home to many interesting period buildings
in the middle left of this photo is Gaudi's Casa Mila; Antonio Gaudi (1852-1926) completed this unique apartment house in 1912
this photo is from my archive of 35mm slides which I took on a trip in December, 1968
View from our hotel room in Eixample, Barcelona. This is an example of city architecture creating a friendlier space. Look at the map of Eixample and you'll see that none of the blocks fill out the space, but create an open diamond shaped space that allows light and outlook for pedestrians. It also allows people to park right outside cafés and stuff.

we bought the 20E Barcelona art card, which gets you into the 7 biggest museums in the city. we ended up going to 6 of the 7. the Fundacio Antoni Tapies was the final one we stumbled into on our last day, after hours & hours of walking. afterward, we were so glad we did. since Tapies is not a lesser-known artist, the place was nearly empty, but the artwork & architecture of the museum were great.
