Though he was the leading figure of Modernisme, Gaudí was but one of the movement’s architects to have left a lasting imprint on the city of Barcelona. If the whimsical, organic and vibrantly colored forms strike your fancy, the work of Lluìs Domènech i Montaner (1850-1923) and Josep Puig i Cadafalch (1867-1956) should not be missed.
Along with Gaudí and a handful of others, these two architects are credited as the driving force behind the movement. The Ruta del Modernisme is not a guided tour, but the staff on hand in the Casa Amatller does offer a discounted multi-pass and informative pamphlets that map out a route to follow in order to reach the many Modernisme sites, among them Domènech’s Castell dels Tres Dragons, Hospital de Sant Pau and Palau de la Música Catalan and Puig’s Casa Martí (home to the famous café Els Quatre Gats), Casa de les Punxes and Palau Baró de Quardras, now housing the Museu de la Música.
All told, there are over 50 sites along the route, making it all but impossible to see every one of them in a day’s walk. You can pick and choose. With limited time, stick to the sites mentioned above and those of Gaudí, namely the Casa Milà, Palau Güell, Parc Güell and Sagrada Familia.
