Popularly knows as the Castell del Tres Dragons (Three Dragons Castle), this stunning building was designed by the famous architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner for the World's Fair of 1888. It currently hosts the Zoology Museum of Barcelona.

Located at Parc de la Ciutadella, it is one of the most important examples or the Art Nouveau (Modernisme Català).

Parc Güell

The Parc Güell was designed by Antoni Gaudí as per request of the count of Güell who dreamed about aristocratic city-garden with single-family residences. Built from 1900 to 1914. The project did not succeed and the park became property of the Barcelona city council who transformed it in a public park in 1923. Free entrance.
