Barcelona is known as the capital of Modernism. The city, where he lived and worked the architect Antoni Gaudi has the most important of his works. The most representative is the Sagrada Familia, that Gaudí left unfinished and which is still being built in the same way as the cathedrals in the Middle Ages, with private donations and contributions, plus the money from entrance tickets, which have transformed it in one of the most visited monuments in Spain. Another of Gaudi's most famous works are the Güell Park (Parc Güell), Casa Mila, also known as La Pedrera and Casa Batlló.
