L'Eixample, which means "expansion" in Catalan, is an iconic neighborhood in Barcelona, Spain. It was designed in the 19th century by the renowned architect Ildefons Cerdà and is characterized by its unique urban design and Modernist architecture.
The L'Eixample neighborhood stretches from the old town of Barcelona and is divided into two main parts: L'Eixample Esquerra (left) and L'Eixample Dreta (right). It is bordered by important avenues such as Passeig de Gràcia, Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, and Avinguda Diagonal.
L'Eixample is known for its wide streets and grid-like blocks, which make navigating the neighborhood easy. Cerdà's urban design is based on a rational and functional distribution, with open spaces, green areas, and a large number of residential and commercial buildings.
The neighborhood is home to some of Barcelona's most iconic buildings, many of which were designed by the renowned architect Antoni Gaudí. The famous Sagrada Familia temple, still under construction, is one of the standout attractions in L'Eixample. Other notable Modernist buildings include Casa Batlló and Casa Milà (also known as La Pedrera), showcasing Gaudí's architectural genius.
