Walking through the city of Barcelona, even at first sight you will be able to see a large number of unique buildings that will attract your interest, and that you will want to stop and admire, whether it’s for their historical relevance, for their architectural interest or simply for their design or modernity.
Because of this, Barcelona is seen as one of the most influential cities for architects, since it gives them the opportunity to admire a great number of buildings of great architectural importance, and from different periods and styles.
The palaces and mansions in Barcelona
Between these buildings, Barcelona’s palaces and mansions deserve a special mention, and we have therefore created a separate section, in which you can find out more detailed information about those which have survived over time.
Some of the city’s most representative historic buildings are now the sites of important museums or Cultural and artistic centers. You can visit nearly all of them, whether free of charge or by paying an entry fee, but in a few cases it’s not possible to go inside them, whether that’s because they are privately owned residential properties or the headquarters of a public institution.
