L'Eixample is divided into two parts, la dreta and la esquerra. Both parts are some of the most prestigious areas of Barcelona, and are home to several monuments and tourist attractions. Here is a short list of the places you should visit after coming to our Italian restaurant in L'Eixample.
What to see in la dreta de L'Eixample
La Pedrera: Gaudí's modernist building
We can see the trail of works left by the famous architect Antonio Gaudi in many parts of Barcelona, but most of his creations are concentrated in L'Eixample. La Pedrera has a modernist facade inspired by the quarries and today is one of the main points of interest in Barcelona.
Besides being able to take a tour inside the building, you can also enjoy exhibitions and even concerts. If you want to see what are the current events at La Pedrera, check their website.
Casa Batlló: the dragon façade
We continue with the works of the famous Catalan architect. Casa Batlló is a comprehensive remodeling of a previously existing building on the site, which was the work of Emilio Sala Cortés in 1877.
This grandiose building has a very characteristic facade, as it is based on a dragon. However, the splendor of the Casa Batlló is not only on the outside, because if you visit the interior you can enjoy the characteristic rooms in the purest Gaudí style.
Plaça Catalunya: the icon of downtown Barcelona
This large square of 5 hectares is the point of union between the old center of the city and L'Eixample. Undoubtedly one of the most iconic and busy places in the city, and few things beat this charming square full of fountains and life.
