Hola! Join two of EF’s local guides in sunny Spain as they give us a live walking tour around Barcelona.
Barcelona is full of energy, beauty, and a lot of whimsy, thanks to one man who made an indelible mark on the city — genius architect Antoni Gaudí. Learn more about his life and how he changed Barcelona forever as we follow Sandra and Raul around the Catalan city, pointing out some of his greatest works.
Construction of the Sagrada Familia began March 1882.
Calling all STEM teachers! Learn about the gargantuan engineering feat that is the 140-year-old-plus construction project of Gaudí’s masterpiece — the Sagrada Familia Basilica — in this fascinating video from Real Engineering.
Explore the complex, mathematical concepts that Gaudí used to design the Sagrada Familia, how aeronautical engineering technology has aided modern architects in 3D modelling of Gaudí’s vision, and how robots are being used to sculpt stone in the absence of skilled craftsmen.
Another one of Barcelona’s most famous Gaudí attractions is the weird and wonderful Parc Güell. Transport yourself there as you explore the park’s sculptures, mosaics, buildings, tunnels, and lookouts, with this interactive 360° Story. Can you spot the famous lizard fountain?
