Madrid does not only embrace historical monuments and museums. It is also home to one of the most-visited places of both tourists and locals – Plaza Mayor. It is a large square first established in the 15th century during the reign of Philip III. 
However, the name of this place was not always the same. It was originally known as “Plaza del Arrabel", then changed over time to "Plaza de la Constitución", "Plaza Real", "Plaza de la República", and finally to Plaza Mayor.

Casa Batlló is believed to be one of the best works by Antoni Gaudi. Locally known as Casa dels ossos, this means a house of bones. 
It is a work of imagination and freedom that converted recycled objects into joyful art. In 2005, UNESCO listed it as a World Heritage Site. Your trip to Barcelona will remain incomplete without visiting this bold, exquisite building. 

6. Sagrada Familia, Barcelona

Sagrada Familia is another UNESCO WORLD Heritage Site and a testament to Antoni Gaudí's extraordinary contribution to creative architectural development and building technology.
It is not only one of the greatest places in Spain but also in Europe. In Gaudi's signature style, you will find the perfect blend of natural elements and religious symbols in this structure. It is fascinating that this heritage building has been under construction for more than 135 years.
