Casa Milà by Antoni Gaudí.

Very small sample of what is a huge port.

Torre Glòries

Casa de les Punxes

Casa Batlló. Another building by Antoni Gaudí.

El Born Centre de Cultura i Memòria. An iron building for markets from the nineteenth century. Renovations revealed the previous medieval buildings and it is now an archaeological site.

Escultura el Peix d'Or

Following Gaudí's design there is a park on both sides of the basilica.

The darker area (pidgeons' contribution to the artwork) was completed by Gaudí.

The Nativity Façade.

Going west around the basilica. To the left will be the Glory Façade. When completed, this will be the entrance to the principal nave.

The Passion Façade.

This semi-attached building was intended as a school for workers's children. Gaudí recognised the need for these people to continue the work.
