The
Barri Gòtic (
Catalan for "
Gothic Quarter") is the center of the old city of Barcelona. Many of the buildings date from medieval times, some from as far back as the
Roman settlement of Barcelona. Catalan modernista architecture (related to the movement known as
Art Nouveau in the rest of
Europe), developed between 1885 and
1950 and left an important legacy in Barcelona. Several of these buildings are
World Heritage Sites. Especially remarkable is the work of architect
Antoni Gaudí, which can be seen throughout the city. His best-known work is the immense but still unfinished church of the
Sagrada Família, which has been under construction since
1882, and is still financed by private donations.
As of 2007, completion is planned for 2026.
Barcelona was also home to
Mies van der Rohe's
Barcelona Pavilion. Designed in 1929 for the
International Exposition for
Germany, it is an iconic building that came to symbolize modern architecture as the embodiment of van der Rohe's aphorisms "less is more" and "
God is in the details." The
Barcelona pavilion was intended as a temporary structure, and was torn down in
1930 less than a year after it was constructed. A modern re-creation by
Spanish architects now stands in Barcelona, however, constructed in
1986.
Barcelona won the
1999 RIBA Royal Gold Medal for its architecture,the first (and as of
2015, only) time that the winner has been a city, and not an individual architect.
Minor basilica of Sagrada Família, the international

Barcelona contains sixty-eight municipal parks, of which twelve are historic parks, five are thematic (botanical) parks, forty-five are urban parks and six are forest parks. They range from vest-pocket parks to large recreation areas. The urban parks alone cover 10% of the city . The total park surface grows about 10 ha per year, with a proportion of 18.1 square metres of park area per inhabitant
