If you're a fan of beautiful architecture, you'll love our tour of Modernist Reus! We'll explore Gaudí's birthplace and discover the incredible buildings in this town's historic centre.

Tour Details

Why is the slogan "Reus, Paris, London" so famous? If you're eager to know the answer, we'll meet you at your chosen time by the "El gegant indi de Reus" sculpture on Calle de Sant Joan and get going!

To begin, we'll take a stroll along the Carrer de Sant Joan and note the modernist architecture of the Gasull and Rull houses. The next stop will be at Plaça Prim, where we'll see the exterior of the Fortuny Theatre, a key cultural icon since the late 19th century.

Our tour will then take us along Carrer Llovera, where we’ll see the Bartolí, Querol and Tomàs Jordi houses. We'll continue through the historic centre, stopping at Antoni Gaudí's birthplace, the prominent figure of Catalan modernism.

After learning facts about Gaudí, we'll head through Reus' old quarter until we reach the Plaça del Mercadal. Here, we'll admire the modernist façade of the Casa Navàs, designed by architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner in the early 20th century.

Having spent 2 hours exploring Modernism in Reus, we'll conclude in the Plaça del Mercadal.
