The New Barcelona

The New Barcelona

Architectural tour of Barcelona's 22@ district

Contained between the sea and the Tibidabo and Montjuïc mountains, Barcelona could only grow to the east. The recent extension of the Avinguda Diagonal, the planning of the 22@ district in Poble Nou and the 2004 Universal Forum of Cultures created a new Diagonal, a new form of urban planning featuring the most modern architecture.
Architour takes you on a tour of this new Barcelona to discover its iconic architectural landmarks.

  • The tour of the new Barcelona will enable you to experience and discover:
    • Poblenou, a district of Barcelona that reflects the important legacy of the textile revolution in the city. Once known as the “Catalan Manchester”, Barcelona has evolved towards a new city model centred on the new technology district known as 22@.
    • Cutting-edge architecture inextricably linked to technology, such as the iconic Agbar Tower or other more intimate spaces, such as the Vila Casas Foundation which is housed in a former textile complex.
    • You will take a tram ride along the paradigmatic Avinguda Diagonal, where the site of the Forum of Cultures (2004) blossoms like a symbolic conclusion to the thoroughfare of the Diagonal and the city’s relationship with the Mediterranean.
  • Itinerary: the Agbar Tower, the Media Tic building, the Me Hotel and a whole group of buildings associated with technology and corporate image. Can Framis (Vila Casas Museum), Ca l'Aranyó (Pompeu Fabra University Campus)... as well as former factories converted into buildings linked to the specific site. The modern Poblenou Central Park and Diagonal Mar Park, and other significant contemporary buildings. Includes a tram ride along the Avinguda Diagonal.
