"There is little question that Antoni Gaudi (1852-1926) was one of the finest and most innovative architects of his age, and his sensuous, curving, almost surreal buildings are among Barcelona's most popular tourist attractions.

"London is famous for Big Ben; Paris for the Eiffel Tower; Rome for the Colosseum. Barcelona, on the other hand, is not identified by one or two famous buildings as these other Eurpean cities, but rather by an entire movement of turn-of-the-century architecture inown simply as 'Modernisme'.
