Great Figures in 20th Century Architecture in Barcelona
At THE REAL THING, we can’t let you miss out on some magnificent buildings in less-than-obvious locations throughout the city. We’ll start with two places which are beyond famous: the German pavilion, built by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition and the emblematic Fundació Miró, by Josep Lluis Sert. We’ll continue to tour the city and discover international-style rationalist treasures hidden in hotels, movie theaters and hospitals, and important creations with more local points of view, such as that of Catalan architect José Antonio Coderch and his houses. We’ll also take a look at unexplored places like the summer home La Ricarda that Antonio Bonet built on the Llobregat River delta.
