One of Barcelona’s “must-sees” is the Basilica of the Sagrada Familia, a testament to the masterwork of Antoni Gaudi. Built on the reliance of donations since the first stone was laid more than 130 years ago, the iconic church remains an unfinished masterpiece and the world’s longest-running construction project. Other examples of Gaudi’s work can be found around the city, one of the most famous being the Casa Batlló on the elegant boulevard Passeig de Grcia.
Take a ride to the top of Arena de Barcelona, a converted bull ring that now houses shops and restaurants for a panoramic view of the surrounding area. More must-see sights are all at your fingertips with your GlobusGO mobile app.
