Everyone. No excuses.

He’s the guy behind Sagrada Família, Casa Batlló and Park Güell – to name just a few– and understanding his legacy is integral to experiencing Barcelona properly.

Some of the highlights include a huge concert and mass on March 19, special exhibitions at MNAC and Casa Batlló Contemporary, and the centenary of his death on June 10. ➡️ Discover all the main events on our full guide to Gaudí Year 2026 Address: Various locations across the city
