In a city filled with incredible architectural masterpieces from Gaudi, there is another architect who often gets forgotten. And yet he is perhaps just as influential in terms of founding the Catalan art form of ‘modernism’.

Instead of turning every corner and being faced with camera frenzied, travellers and “American” bars.
