At the beginning of the 90s and as a result of the celebration of the Olympic Games, Catalonia and especially Barcelona experienced a boom in their passion for modern architecture. You can find entire neighbourhoods related to the architecture of this era, housing many parks, contemporary public sculptures and daring designs.
In Barcelona you will be able to admire Frank Gehry’s famous sculpture of the Golden Fish in Barceloneta, or the structured lines of the Palau Sant Jordi designed by the Japanese Arata Isozaki, as well as Richard Meier’s design in the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona (MACBA).
More recently, Barcelona has also welcomed works by Jean Nouvel, Benedetta Tagliablue and Enric Miralles with new architectural creations that have become a mandatory stop for every traveller.
