Arkupea (en castellà Los Arquillos) foren construïts al segle XVIII per Justo Antonio de Olaguíbel Quintana i Nicolás Díez de Güemes i conformen un carrer amb porxades de Vitòria-Gasteiz de gran valor arquitectònic doncs és la resposta al problema que es va plantejar en intentar unir el nucli antic de Vitòria amb el nou Eixample, llavors en construcció.
La zona medieval de la capital alabesa s'assenta sobre un turó i "Los Arquillos" permeten salvar l'important desnivell per mitjà d'una sèrie d'edificis escalonats. La nova obra, que va trigar deu anys a construir-se, va ser la solució de l'eixample de la ciutat al costat de la Plaça Nova, concebuda també per Olaguibel. Així, els carrers medievals van ser accessibles des de l'eixample neoclàssic.
Se sol donar com a data de construcció l'any 1787.

Gaudi’s Casa Batllo’ architectural masterpiece shows wonders at any detail. This spiraling ceiling was in the dining room at first floor. Another, modern wonder of this museum is the dynamic ticket price, which strongly suggest anybody to plan the visit and buy tickets on the Internet to avoid witnessing rally from 27 to over 40 Euro (it changes every 15’). Something like the NY stock exchange 😉.
The stepped roof of La Pedrera, called "the garden of warriors" by the poet Pere Gimferrer because the chimneys appear to be protecting the skylights, has undergone a radical restoration, removing chimneys added in interventions after Gaudí, television antennas, and other elements that degraded the space. The restoration brought back the splendor to the chimneys and the skylights that were covered with fragments of marble and broken Valencia tiles.

Construction of the Sagrada Família (falll name Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família) began under architect Francisco de Paula del Villar in 1882 who resigned one year later. Antoni Gaudi took over as chief architect and transformed the project in this typical style, combining Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms. Gaudí worked on the project until his death in 1926. At that time, less than a quarter of the projected building was finished but he could be buried in its crypt. Plans were to complete the Sagrada Familia in 2026, i.e. 100 years after Gaudi's death. Unfortunately, due to delays caused by the Corona epidemic, this will not be feasible.
