The New Barcelona: Architecture Tour
€50.00
Discover contemporary Barcelona through its architecture.
Explore 22@ and Poblenou on a 3-hour guided tour and discover how Barcelona's former industrial landscape has been transformed into a district of innovation and contemporary architecture.
Architour, an architecture studio, offers a different way to discover Barcelona through its architecture. Its tours provide an immersive experience of the city, encouraging travellers to reflect, explore and interact with the urban environment.
From Torre Glòries to the Fòrum, the tour combines industrial heritage, architecture, urban planning and public space to reveal the transformation of one of Barcelona's most dynamic areas.
Discover the transformation of Poblenou, historically known as the “Catalan Manchester”, a major centre of Barcelona's textile Industrial Revolution and the setting for profound social and urban change.
This tour through 22@, Barcelona's district of knowledge, innovation and new technologies, reveals how Poblenou's former industrial landscape has evolved into one of the city's leading hubs for contemporary architecture.
Along the way, discover buildings that have shaped this urban transformation, including Torre Glòries, the MediaPro building, Hotel ME and Torre Telefónica, among others, which define the skyline of contemporary Barcelona.
The tour also explores how industrial heritage coexists with new architecture. Places such as Can Framis and Ca l'Aranyó illustrate the dialogue between the neighbourhood's industrial past and its ongoing transformation.
Architecture is also closely connected to urban planning and public space. Diagonal Mar Park and Poblenou Central Park complete an itinerary that reveals the different layers of a constantly evolving neighbourhood.
The route continues to the Fòrum, at the end of Avinguda Diagonal by the sea, completing a journey through Poblenou from its industrial past to 21st-century Barcelona.
