Barcelona

Discover Barcelona’s world-famous architecture within its compact, multi-layered urban fabric. In recent decades, the city has transformed — from reorienting toward the sea to redeveloping industrial areas and improving public spaces — making it a laboratory for urban planning and social and ecological sustainability, addressing the challenges of climate change.

In 2026, Barcelona will become the World Capital of Architecture, featuring over 1,500 events and exhibitions, marking the centenary of Gaudí’s death, the 150th anniversary of Cerdà’s, and the completion of the Sagrada Família’s central tower.

Explore iconic buildings and emerging urban landscapes shaped by superblocks, green corridors, and adaptive reuse, guided by local architects. We offer customized tours, lectures, and study trips, and can arrange meetings with local professionals and decision-makers. Services include transport, tickets, and reservations, ensuring a seamless, enriching experience.
