Holy Family’ bell towers
The cranes have been here for so long they have become part of the landscape. If four of these spires already look impressive, imagine 18 of them! These ones are over 300 ft. tall. The main cupola will be 510 ft. They are hollow and will accommodate tubular bells on two sides and gigantic organ tubes on the third.

Guided Tour of Gaudí’s Works

Gaudí’s Works are more than what meets the eye!

This Guided Tour of Gaudí’s works will take you past the first impressions to a more technical approach of Antoni Gaudí’s construction techniques and their underlying principles and ideas.

At the the Sagrada Familia or Holy Family, we shall take advantage of the models on display to get a better understanding of the advanced (even by modern standards) structural solutions Gaudí developed.

The itinerary will also take us to the Güell Park, where Gaudí’s architecture blends into nature and where fantasy accommodates practical concerns. An unexpected place with a fairy tale feeling to it!

Your Tour Guide’s comments will also evoke Antonio Gaudí’s personality and life story, at least as controversial and original as his buildings. Profoundly devout and religious, he led an intense mystic life.

Sights included in our Tour of Gaudí’s Works:

• Batlló House
• Milà House or Pedrera
• Sagrada Familia Church (Holy Family
• Güell Park

Advance reservation required for inside visit of Batlló and Milà houses.

This dragon-like creature watching over the entrance of the Güell Park has become a symbol of Barcelona.

The feel: A highly focused tour for those who want to get a closer look at Gaudí's buildings though still interesting to the non-initiated, as our Tour Guide will highlight the aspects that interest you most: technical, artistic, personal, social or religious.
