Concierge "Never mind that it's a cliché: If you see only one sight in Barcelona, head to the Eixample and see Gaudí's resplendent Sagrada Familia."
Frommer's "Gaudí's incomplete masterpiece is one of the city's more idiosyncratic creations -- if you have time to see only one Catalan landmark, you should make it this one." Full review

"If you have time for only one sightseeing outing, this should be it." Full review
Lonely Planet "The spired house to the right is the Casa-Museu Gaudí, where Gaudí lived for most of his last 20 years (1906–26). It contains furniture by him and other memorabilia." Full review
Frommer's "Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926) was a profoundly religious man, and from 1912 forward he made the design of this soaring basilica his life’s work." Full review

Condé Nast Traveler "This Gaudi-designed church is a tour fixture for almost every visitor to Barcelona... “Holy Family” is one of the world’s most debated works of architecture." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "There's quite simply nothing like it in the world." Full review
Let's Go "Featured in every panoramic shot of the city, it’s the Eiffel Tower or Statue of Liberty of Barcleona. It was Gaudi’s lifelong project that he died working on." Full review

"One of the strangest residential buildings in Europe, this is Gaudí at his hallucinogenic best." Full review
Lonely Planet "An apartment building by Vilaseca is Casa Enric Batlló , completed in 1896 and part of the Comtes de Barcelona hotel." Full review
Fodor's "Gaudí at his most spectacular, the Casa Batlló is actually a makeover: it was originally built in 1877 by Emili Sala Cortés, one of Gaudí's teachers, and acquired by the Batlló family in 1900." Full review
Michelin Guide 3 Stars
"This masterful work by Gaudí is part of the famous "Apple of Discord" and was built between 1904 and 1906 in pure Modernist style, with ceramic coloured glass disks and a fishscale roof." Full review
Afar Magazine "This house takes its cues from bones. The emtry staircase looks like a spinal column, and this hallway was inspired by a ribcage." Full review
Atlas Obscura "One of Antoni Gaudí's most classic buildings is well-known for its "dragon-back" design. " Full review
The Telegraph "The building itself is an apartment block, dramatically remodelled by Gaudí in the early 1900s, and now mostly open to the public, who can finally appreciate his swirling interiors and woodwork. " Full review
Time Out "The chance to explore the interior...offers the best opportunity of understanding how Gaudí, sometimes considered the lord of the bombastic and overblown, was really the master of tiny details." Full review
