- Passeig de Gràcia E - 08008 Barcelone
Although it used to link the old town to the village of Gràcia, it is now, along with Eixample the residential area of the upper class. It links beautiful buildings epitomising early 20C architecture, such as those by Gaudí, Domènech i Montaner and Puig i Cadafalch, in particular. The oil lamps adorning this main street are one of the symbols of the city's modern identity. Designed by Pere Faqués in 1900, they indeed demonstrate the modernist trend for materials such as iron and ceramics.
