Barcelona/Eixample

The Eixample is the quarter designed during the middle of the 19th century by Ildefons Cerdà, expanding the medieval city of Barcelona into space left empty for defence outside the city walls. It's an enormous field of rectangular blocks in a continuously repeating layout, with the constant threat of getting lost (at least for those used to European cities). Eixample contains most of the modernist buildings, including La Pedrera, Casa Batlló and most famously, La Sagrada Família. A very interesting example for planned urban development and subsequent re-planning and restructuring.
