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.

We will begin with a stroll along Carrer de Sant Joan to observe the modernist architecture of the Gasull and Rull houses. Our next stop will be Plaça Prim, where we will view the exterior of the Fortuny Theatre, a key cultural icon since the late 19th century.

The tour continues along Carrer Llovera to see the Bartolí, Querol and Tomàs Jordi houses. We will then proceed through the historic centre to Antoni Gaudí's birthplace. Gaudí, a major figure of Catalan modernism, is known for landmarks such as the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.

After discussing some facts about Gaudí, we will walk through Reus' old quarter to Plaça del Mercadal, where we will admire the modernist façade of the Casa Navàs, designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner in the early 20th century.

After 2 hours of exploring Modernism in Reus, we will conclude the tour in the Plaça del Mercadal.
