Near Barcelona you will find many examples of Modernista (Catalan Art Nouveau) architecture which the great figures of this movement disseminated throughout Catalonia and quite especially in the areas near the capital. Indeed, you will find countless manifestations of this total art, from the works of the great Gaudí to folk applications of Modernisme. Summer houses —some of them authentic palaces—, urban dwellings or romantic gardens mix with factories and service buildings.
