The wall of kisses

This is a must-see if you go to Barcelona. Located in the heart of Barcelona next to the Cathedral, the Wall of Kisses is a piece of art from Joan Fontcuberta. To celebrate the tricentenary of 1714  (the end of Barcelona’s siege that ended the Great Succession War of Spain), the artist called the citizens to send them their photos of moments of freedom. Thousands of pictures were used to realize this photomosaic and create what the artist called “El mundo nace en cada beso” (The World Is Born In Every Kiss). From now on, this wall is a must-see for photography lovers and pretty walls… But you’d better go soon in the day to avoid the crowds!

The walls of Casa Vicens

This house is the first architectural work of Gaudi. At the time, it was the order of a rich family that wanted a holiday house on the outsides of Barcelona (whose city center stopped at the boundaries of the Gothic District). The keywords of Gaudi for this house? Nature and oriental arts. Now, the colourful and floral house is a quiet museum, but also a wonderful place for photography lovers.

You’ll find many different street arts and paintings, perfect to do different style of photos… but beware of the many skaters!
