Modernisme or Catalan Art Nouveau. We’ve all heard of the wonders of Gaudí trencadís, haven’t we? And we have all seen Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia, at least in pictures. We suggest now to know the history of Modernisme in Barcelona, contemplating and analyzing outstanding representations, and little-known details.

We start with the overview of Fuster House, Baró de Quadras’ Palace and the emblematic Milà House (La Pedrera), to continue discovering the key  feature of Modernisme, Passeig de Gràcia, and its “apple of discord”. Here we look at the Batlló House, the greatest exponent of the House-Art work by Gaudí. Also we become familiar with names as Güell, Puig i Cadafalch or Domenech i Muntaner.

But we will not only see the buildings and talk about the authors: we will situate Modernisme in historical, social and economic context, to really understand this magnificent period.
