Continuing our series on Secret Barcelona and following seamlessly on from the first article on Museums and Galleries of Barcelona we continue with some of the lesser known Architecture of Barcelona. One glaring omission from this list is the works of the great Antoni Gaudi but fret not, they can all be found at Gaudi Barcelona.
The city has always been famous for its innovative architecture and been a magnet for architects from all over Spain and internationally. However some of Barcelona’s most impressive buildings stand almost ignored by many tourists.
