Museums & monuments
The church of La Sagrada Família
The Expiatory church of La Sagrada Familia is Barcleona’s most iconic monumental building, and the masterwork of architect Antoni Gaudí.
For some, it is the foremost exponent of Catalan Modernism, while for others, its highly personal style cannot be classified. The Sagrada Familia is a Catholic basilica that was begun in 1882. The building work still remains unfinished. Of all Gaudí’s works in Barcelona, the Sagrada Familia is the finest example of his own idea of art.It is “total” architecture, in which structure, ornament, symbolism, mysticism and nature stand side by side, to create a highly complex and exuberantly elaborate structure that is clearly devoted to religion. +info
Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela
The Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela is Spain’s finest Romanesque work of art. It is also the final destination of all the Roads to Compostela that, for centuries, led pilgrims from all over Christendom to the tomb of the apostle St. James. Furthermore, it was to be the foundation stone for the monumental city of Santiago de Compostela, which was born in a sacred wood at the very ends of the earth, and was to become a Holy City and a World Heritage Site. +info

Prado Museum
The Prado Museum is one of the leading cultural referents both in the world, as well as in Spain. Its rooms house a magnificent collection of paintings, in particular a large number of works by 16th to 19th-century Great Masters and artistic schools.
Among its holdings are works by Spain’s greatest painters, such as Velázquez, El Greco and Goya, as well as by other European Great Masters who have gone down in art history as the most important artists of all times, such as Rembrandt , Titian, Van Dyck, and Tiepolo, to name a few. +info
Alhambra and Generalife
Above the city of Granada stands one of the most superb monuments ever built by man. The Palatine city of the Alhambra was a rich complex built by the Nazrid dynasty, and the last capital of Spain’s Muslim rulers before it was conquered by the Catholic Monarchs in 1492.
The Alhambra and Generalife complex is a delight to the senses, from its magnificent fortress walls to its delicate interiors,in which the finest artists left their mark on the light and colour of its rooms. But also, there is the scent of the gardens and the sound of running water, which are part of a unique whole that every art-lover must visit at some point in their life. +info
