La arquitectura de Barcelona es muy historico y es escencial ver mientras en la ciudad. Este documento examina la arcitectura en Barcelona dentro de seis emplazamientos muy importantes y famosos. Todos los pedazos de arcitectura viene juntos crear la arcitectura único a Barcelona. Examino la historia y el origen breve de cada obra de arcitectura tambien.

El primero emplazamiento de arcitectura que voy a examinar es La Seu. La Seu es el Catedral de Barcelona. Es muy grande y la arcitecura es muy magnifico. La arcitectura es de gotico y tiene un claustro muy único por el tiempo.

Siguiente es la Casa Batllo de Antonio Gaudi. Aqui examino la Manzana de la Discordia y la arcitectura modernista del tiempo. Es de 1904-1906 y muchas caracteristicas únicas.

Los edificos finales son el Parc Guell y la Sagrada Familia. Los dos so

Each architectural work greatly adds to the overall atmosphere, culture and identity that so defines Barcelona. The great works of Gaudi alone have brought much tourism to the city. The Sagrada Familia for example, although unfinished draws more visitors than to any other site in the whole city. It was due to the city's architecture that it became so world-renown and continues to flourish well into the twenty-first century. I personally take a great liking to the architecture of Barcelona, especially to the mosaic work of Gaudi and his assistants in Park Guell, Sagrada Familia and the colorful Casa Batllo. I also find the Palau de la Música Catalana very inspiring with its floral mosaic art all about the place and its magnificent colors and design. The architecture of Barcelona is unlike any I have ever seen before and it gives much inspiration.

Casa Batllo forms one building of a series of extraordinary houses by Montaner, Gaudi and Puig i Cadafalch comprise the Manzana de la Discòrdia (Block of Discord). A different Modernist architect designed each of the three adjacent houses on one block of Passeig de Gracia in Barcelona. It was the differing styles of the architecture that led to the block's name. The center building Casa Batllo was started by the industrialist Josep Batllo and finished by Antonio Gaudi in 1904-1906, who gave the building its fame. He added the fifth floor, completely redid the interior, depressed the roof and added a new facade. The stone facade is decorated with colored glass fragments, ceramic circles, and mask-shaped balconies, while the wavy scaled roof is reminiscent of a dragon's back to represent the legend of Saint George.
