Barcelona’s architectural charm is influenced by the organic, romantic styles of Gaudí and Alphonse Mucha, where flowing curves, vibrant stained glass windows, and iconic blue trams all play a part in the city’s unique character. At the heart of this urban design is the modular grid system created by Ildefons Cerdà, whose aim was to craft a city that was both walkable and connected.
This innovative layout gave rise to the famous La Rambla, a bustling boulevard that remains a symbol of Barcelona’s harmonious blend of nature, art, and modern urban planning.
