Give your students an educational introduction to the world of Antoni Gaudí with our Gaudí and Modernism guided tour.

The Gaudí and Modernisme guided tour: a must for cultural school outings!
The Gaudí and Modernism guided tour will take your students back to the middle and end of the 19th century, in the context of the second industrial revolution. You’ll discover the city of Barcelona in the throes of transformation, with publishing houses, newspapers and institutions proliferating, and with major economic and urban development. A new industrial bourgeoisie was developing with an air of modernity.
You will learn how, as a result of these social and technological transformations, Modernisme emerged as a cultural movement aimed at modernising Catalan society.
Your students will discover the many disciplines (painting, sculpture, decorative arts, music and literature) in which it developed, but above all its most striking application: architecture. This field underwent a veritable transformation between 1885 and 1920, particularly in Barcelona.
Few people have left their mark on Barcelona’s architectural history like Antoni Gaudí.
Our guide will introduce you to Gaudí, a major figure in Catalan modernism. He designed many of the city’s most representative monuments, including the Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlló and La Pedrera.
Discover Antoni Gaudí’s most remarkable works with your students.
On the Modernist Route with Gaudí, we will tour the most emblematic monuments of Catalan Modernism, with a particular focus on the architect’s life and work.
Our guide will take you through the history of the Modernista movement, focusing on the Universal Exhibition of 1888, a major event in the birth of this movement. We’ll take your students back to Barcelona’s booming past, of which the city has preserved some of the finest examples.
