Avinguda Gaudí

An exhibition that highlights the Sagrada Família and the Sant Pau Recinte Modernista. The axis formed by Avinguda Gaudí is much more than an urban connection between two masterpieces of Catalan Modernism.

At the southern end, the Sagrada Família, a work by Antoni Gaudí, stands as a universal spiritual and creative symbol.

Gaudí made the neighbourhood part of his work: he used local residents as models for the sculptures on the Nativity facade and built a school for the children of the workers and the neighbourhood, demonstrating a deep connection with the community.

At the northern end, the Hospital de Sant Pau, designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner, represents the ultimate expression of Modernism applied to public healthcare. A hospital-garden precinct where light, colour and architectural beauty form part of the healing process.

A living heritage that has been the setting for life, death and hope for generations of Barcelonans. Check all the details on the Sagrada Família website. This activity is part of the commemoration of the Any Gaudí. Last update: 5/03/2026
