Plus, through him, it has allowed this new breed of architects to let their imaginations soar when designing new buildings for what is becoming a very beautiful and eclectic place to live. In fact, when designing buildings many of the architects have chosen to take huge risks through using very bright colours that would look out of place in other cities around the world.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_89 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Tabla de contenidos<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6aebe5ac7983a\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #850909;color:#850909\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #850909;color:#850909\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6aebe5ac7983a\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/live-the-enriching-cultural-experience-of-barcelonas-architecture\/#So-what-makes-the-architecture-in-Barcelona-so-distinctive\" >So what makes the architecture in Barcelona so distinctive?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/live-the-enriching-cultural-experience-of-barcelonas-architecture\/#Live-The-Enriching-Cultural-Experience\" >Live The Enriching Cultural Experience<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"So-what-makes-the-architecture-in-Barcelona-so-distinctive\"><\/span><strong>So what makes the architecture in Barcelona so distinctive?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For some reason when it comes to this city it has been able to successfully blend the old with the new that helps to make it look simply breathtaking. Nothing could be more enjoyable than spending a few hours strolling along the streets of this city and taking in a special atmosphere that the architecture surrounding you has helped to create.<\/p>\n<p>One minute you could be walking past some gothic architecture that is common in this part of Spain like the Iglesia de Pi, and then next you\u2019ll find yourself passing the beautiful facade and arches that make up the City\u2019s Cathedral. Of course, if you really want to live the enriching cultural experience of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/hidden-architectural-gem-in-barcelona\/\">Barcelona\u2019s architecture<\/a> the spending time viewing the city\u2019s Sagrada Familia Basilica is a must. This particular building towers over the city and as you wander around the outside of the building you\u2019ll find yourself looking at different architectural styles, that all seem to merge together well.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-15362 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/en\/2014\/10\/Diagonal-Zero-Tower-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Barcelona\u2019s Architecture\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>However, the architects who created this city aren\u2019t only known for creating wonderful builders but also for developing a good plan. One thing you may not have noticed and which is common is that all buildings located on corners of streets have flat edges (chamfered corners). As a result of this, you\u2019ll find that at the city\u2019s crossroads they have a much more open feel to them and this helps to provide more space for terraces to be created on the street corners. As a result of the way in which the roads are laid out it further helps to create a more sociable and communal atmosphere throughout this amazing city.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Live-The-Enriching-Cultural-Experience\"><\/span>Live The Enriching Cultural Experience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can, of course, tour the city by bus, but if you want to get a real feel for the city then participating in one of the many walking tours around its streets is highly recommended. One particular tour you may particular want to go on is that known as the Barcelona Architecture Small Group. They offer you two tours to choose from, one that takes your around the medieval parts of the city, whilst the second one allows you to explore the city\u2019s very innovative waterfront. If you would prefer you could enjoy both as one takes place in the morning and the other in the afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you will discover Barcelona\u2019s architecture is about so much more than Gaudi.
