About Barcelona and Modernism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Barcelona is one of the world capitals of modernism thanks to the legacy of architects such as Antoni Gaud\u00ed, Llu\u00eds Dom\u00e8nech i Montaner, and Josep Puig i Cadafalch.<\/strong> At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, this artistic movement transformed the city with innovative, ornamental, and highly symbolic buildings. Modernism turned Barcelona into a true open-air museum, where architecture, art, <\/strong>and design <\/strong>form part of the city\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
