Buildings That Speak

What to expect?

A walking tour that will show you how to interpret the symbols and decorative motifs of the famous Modernisme architectural style. The great industrialists of the time employed their architects to come up with increasingly spectacular buildings, a synthesis of engineering, sculpture, crafts, art and beauty. These buildings can tell us much about the people who lived and contributed to these works of art. It's a journey back in time to an important historical period that continues to exert its influence on contemporary Barcelona.
