El Eixample: when Modernism transformed everything

El Eixample is much more than a succession of beautiful modernist buildings: it is the place where Modernism, in capital letters, became a way of understanding the great city that is Barcelona. From the great icons that enjoy the declaration of World Heritage to the anonymous facades, El Eixample is full of undulating shapes and motifs inspired by nature that are reproduced in stone, iron, wood, glass, and ceramics.
