The Eixample Quarter tour
This tour route explores Catalan Modernist culture and the city envisioned by Cerdà, a ferment of the capitalist metropolis and the product of a new bourgeois society shaped by the values of nineteenth-century industrial life.
La Pedrera House, Batlló House or Amatller House stand among the finest examples of Modernist architecture in an urban context that proudly displays social status in the new city. Passeig de Gràcia, the backbone of the route, acts as its grand mirror -a resounding stage for representation. The itinerary also unveils a rich array of rationalist and contemporary architecture, seamlessly integrated within the vibrant urban grid designed by Cerdà.
