Architecture in Barcelona naturally reflects the city’s rich history. Here, you will see architecture from the Roman period to the Gothic era to the Modernisme, Catalan Art Nouveau. Barcelona architecture speaks for many things: periods of varying prosperity and decline, passionate Catalan nationalism or repression of the central government, the Olympic Games, cultural forums, expos, and more.
Perhaps the most important architectural styles in Barcelona are the medieval Catalan Gothic style and Modernisme. The latter is a fin de siècle movement pioneered by the famous architect, Gaudí. The movement is also called the Catalan Renaissance or Renaixença.
It is well worth seeing Barcelona’s ancient remains. Here, you can see large portions of the 4th century Roman walls at the Museu d’Història de la Ciutat. You can also see them in the Cathedral’s Casa de L’Ardiaca, the Archdeacon’s House.
