Welcome to Drew Explores, the podcast where history and place meet to tell extraordinary stories. In this episode, we explore how Antoni Gaudí and the city of Barcelona shaped one another. During a period of rapid growth in the late 19th century, Barcelona was redefining itself—balancing modernization with its Catalan identity. Gaudí emerged as a central figure in this transformation, blending Gothic, Moorish, and natural forms into a distinct architectural language. From early commissions like Casa Vicens to major works like Park Güell and Casa Milà, his designs pushed the boundaries of architecture. At the heart of his legacy stands the Sagrada Família—his unfinished masterpiece and a lasting symbol of both his vision and the city’s evolving spirit.
