Gaudi's Masterpieces in Barcelona: Quest Experience

This Barcelona Gaudi quest experience transforms a walk through the city into an interactive challenge where puzzles, architecture, and storytelling combine into a single seamless adventure. You follow a mobile app at your own pace, with no guide required and no fixed schedule to keep.
Starting on the medieval Comtal Street in the Old Town district, the route threads through Barcelona's most celebrated architectural corridors, including the famous Passeig de Gracia.

Along the way, the route passes through more than ten distinct architectural landmarks, from modest modernista gems to the towering Sagrada Familia, weaving a coherent narrative about Catalan architecture and the artists who defined it.

Itinerary Overview
The quest begins on this medieval commercial street in the Old Town district, where your first challenge invites you to observe your surroundings carefully. Solving it launches you into the heart of Barcelona's history.
This celebrated stretch of Passeig de Gracia brings together three competing masterpieces of Catalan modernisme in a single block. You will engage with challenges at each building, uncovering the stories behind their architects and patrons.
Gaudi's Casa Mila, commissioned in 1906, leads to Puig i Cadafalch's dramatic Casa de les Punxes at the intersection of Rossello, Bruc, and Avinguda Diagonal. Each stop reveals a new chapter in Barcelona's architectural story.
The route arrives at Gaudi's monumental basilica, where construction began in earnest in 1883 and continues to this day. The Avinguda Gaudi, created to link the basilica with the nearby hospital, frames the final approach.
The quest concludes at Spain's oldest hospital, founded in 1401 and rebuilt in its current modernista form starting in 1909. Its pavilion-style campus offers a fitting and architecturally rich endpoint for the adventure.
