Awe-Inspiring Architecture

If you’re looking for reasons to visit Spain, look no further than its architecture. And there are amazing examples of numerous architectural types all around the country, not just one famous structure or even one specific style. The most well-known ones are those of Catalan Modernist movement leader Antoni Gaudi. The Sagrada Familia and Casa Batllo, two of his most well-known structures, are located in Barcelona, however, some of his other works can be found throughout Spain.

Gaudi’s work alone is enough to make Spain an architectural dream, but the country has many other buildings that are just as impressive, particularly its churches. The Gothic-style Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See in Seville, the Baroque-style Cathedral in Granada, as well as the Mosque-Cathedral in Cordoba, are just a few of the must-sees.

The enormous fortress and palace in Grenada known as the Alhambra must be mentioned if discussing architecture in Spain. The Alhambra is the most notable example of Islamic architecture in the nation and is also its most popular landmark.
