Explore Barcelona with an Actor Guide: Rosa Gaudi

Rosa Gaudí awaits you at the foot of Casa Batlló to embark on a journey through the works her uncle bequeathed to the city of Barcelona. Casa Batlló, a true architectural fantasy with bold colors and daring shapes, will instantly transport you into the imaginative world of the great Gaudí. Surrender to this stone reverie, where Barcelona's architect managed to express an entire aquatic universe: marine resurgences, underwater depths, fish scales, and other water lilies adorn its facade. With nostalgia, Rosa will share with you the significant moments of the architect's life, who was both famous and controversial in his lifetime. To echo the words of Elies Rogent, director of the architecture school where Gaudí graduated: "I do not yet know if we have given this diploma to a madman or a genius, only time will tell."

With hindsight, it seems the diploma was indeed given to a genius... and that's what you'll continue to discover with Rosa, in front of Casa Mila, also known as "La Pedrera," which in Catalan means "the quarry." The last civil work of the master, La Pedrera is a unique construction that allows a deep understanding of Gaudí's imagination, and whose peculiar appearance caused a great scandal at the time. A masterpiece of the Catalan modernist movement, La Pedrera will be an opportunity for us to delve into the architectural obsessions that make Antonio Gaudí's style so unique, and in his time, so misunderstood. You will be surprised to learn that Gaudí is much more than an architect; he is a total artist, mastering numerous techniques, curious, and capable of anything.

Finally, you will be amazed and filled with admiration before Gaudí's most audacious achievement and life's work: the Sagrada Familia. It will be with emotion that you will discover Gaudí's spiritual evolution, who, from a young dandy, becomes a true "monk-architect," with a frugal and discreet lifestyle, seeking above all to celebrate and commune with God through the realization of his works. You will be dazzled by the richness and sophistication of the different facades of the cathedral, where Antoni Gaudí's remains now rest.
