Mies van der Rohe Pavilion: Skip The Line Ticket
Mies van der Rohe Pavilion: Skip The Line Tic...

Germany commissioned Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich to create a space to represent the nation at the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition. Once the event was over, the Pavilion was dismantled but never forgotten – rather, it was turned into a benchmark that has not only been deeply influential for generations of architects and artists, but laid the foundations of modern architecture. The extreme purity of its forms, its sobriety, the linear interplay between interiors and exteriors, the precise contrasts in the palette of materials exquisitely chosen and brought from the Alps, Tivoli, Atlas and Tinos all combine to form a perfect balance in this jewel of modern architecture, whose reconstruction (1986) allows us to enjoy it today.

Barcelona’s Block of Discord is a stretch of Passeig de Gràcia where three prominent Catalan Modernista architects reshaped neighboring buildings around the turn of the 20th century. Lluís Domènech i Montaner designed Casa Lleó Morera, Josep Puig i Cadafalch transformed Casa Amatller, and Antoni Gaudí remodeled Casa Batlló. Their strikingly different façades inspired the block’s playful name: in Spanish, *manzana* means both a city block and an apple, recalling the mythological apple of discord. Look for sculptural stonework, colorful ceramic and glass, and the contrasting rooflines that make each house recognizable. Together, the buildings show how wealthy Barcelona families used the expanding Eixample district to commission architecture that was both a home and a statement of cultural ambition.

Before you enter

  • Decide whether you want to admire the façades or visit an interior; each building has its own access arrangements.
  • Check individual building hours before planning an interior visit.
  • Bring a camera with a wide-angle setting to capture the neighboring façades.

What to expect

  • This is a city block, not a single building with one entrance.
  • The main landmarks are Casa Lleó Morera, Casa Amatller, and Casa Batlló.
  • Expect an active sidewalk on one of Barcelona’s major shopping streets.

During your visit

  • Step across Passeig de Gràcia for a fuller view of the façades, using a marked crossing.
  • Compare the rooflines and entrances before looking closely at smaller decorative details.
  • Keep doorways clear for residents, staff, and other visitors.
