Depart the pier for the drive through the centre of the city towards the north and Colonia Güell. Colonia GüellA jewel of modernism still relatively unknown to the big public, Colonia Güell remains today as one of the most secret treasures of Catalanarchitecture genious Antoni Gaudí. Conceived as an industrial village to accommodate factory workers, Gaudi was in charge of building thechurch of the installations and even though the temple remained unfinished, the crypt is considered a culminating point of his works: theconstruction including for the first time practically all of his architectural innovations. After a guided visit, your tour continues on with a visit to theChurch of the Holy Family, or, 'La Sagrada Familia'. La Sagrada FamiliaThis monumental but unfinished church is Gaudí's most famous masterpiece. Its towering spires are Barcelona's most prominent landmark.

Originally a residence of a wealthy industrialist, Gaudí completely renovated the building between 1904 and1906, and its façade is unsurpassed in the entire city. There are no corners; even the walls are rounded and the tile roof depicts the back of adragon. Your guided walking tour of this Gaudí masterpiece includes the impressive main floor and rooftop, which features whimsical chimneysand offers spectacular views over the city.
