Gaudí 2026 commemorative medal – Limited edition

The year 2026 marks the centenary of the death of Antoni Gaudí, a universal figure who transformed architecture and helped establish Barcelona as an international landmark of Catalan Modernism.

The Gaudí 2026 commemorative medal was conceived as a handcrafted tribute to his work, his legacy and the profound mark he left on the city. It is not a conventional tourist souvenir, but a small cultural object designed to preserve the memory of the celebrated Catalan architect.

Gaudí 2026 Medal: a tribute to the genius of Catalan architecture

Produced in Barcelona in a limited edition of only 500 individually numbered pieces, this medal brings together design, heritage, contemporary craftsmanship and local identity.

A medal filled with Gaudí symbolism

Gaudí and the Sagrada Família on the front

The front of the medal features a portrait of Antoni Gaudí alongside the silhouettes of the Sagrada Família towers.

The composition refers to the architect’s most emblematic work and the building to which he devoted much of his life. The surrounding inscriptions mention Barcelona, the Sagrada Família, Gaudí and the commemorative year 2026.

The relief and aged finish give depth to the details and provide the medal with the appearance of a historical artefact.

The Passeig de Gràcia pavement on the reverse

The reverse features a composition inspired by the hexagonal paving stone designed by Gaudí and installed on Barcelona’s Passeig de Gràcia.

The organic and marine motifs that characterise this pavement perfectly represent the architect’s creative approach: shapes inspired by nature, flowing structures and an extraordinary ability to transform functional elements into genuine works of art.

This double-sided design turns the medal into a small visual journey through two of the most recognisable symbols of Gaudí’s legacy.

Limited edition of 500 numbered pieces

Each Gaudí 2026 Medal is part of a limited series of only 500 pieces.

Every medal is individually numbered, reinforcing its exclusive character and making it particularly appealing to collectors, Gaudí enthusiasts and admirers of Barcelona’s culture and architecture.

The individual numbering identifies every medal as a unique piece within the commemorative edition.

Designed and made in Barcelona

The medal was conceived and produced in Barcelona, creating a close connection between its place of manufacture, the person it commemorates and the architectural elements represented.

Its local origin gives authenticity and coherence to a piece intended to go beyond the conventional souvenir. It is an object designed to express the connection between contemporary craftsmanship, Catalan heritage and the memory of Antoni Gaudí.

Commemorative presentation

On the front, the medal is integrated into a graphic composition inspired by the forms of Gaudí’s mosaic work. The back includes a brief explanation of its commemorative significance, together with information about its materials, dimensions and production.
