Description

19-century historic district with works by Gaudi and Cerda.

The grid pattern upon which L'Eixample District is laid out reflects the attention to design and growth of the area. The industrious potential of Barcelona was considered in this district, as the streets were designed for high traffic, visibility and ample parking.

Certain parts of L'Eixample District were influenced by Modernista architects among other schools, offering an array of buildings of unique design. Casa Mila and Casa Batllo are just two examples of the characteristic edifices you’ll find in L'Eixample District.
