This visual poem by Joan Brossa stands just in front of Barcelona"s Roman wall, where the aqueduct once entered the city. This curious sculpture, which blends in perfectly with the city"s most ancient stones, spells out the word Barcino, the Roman name of Barcelona, and is the artist"s tribute to the ancient colony.
The Sagrada Família is Antoni Gaudí"s best-known work and has become an undisputed symbol of Barcelona. This unique modern temple has been under construction since 1882.
The basilica of Santa Maria del Mar in Barcelona, also known as the "cathedral of La Ribera", is one of the most perfect examples of Gothic style architecture due to its harmonious proportions and the serenity of the ensemble.
the biggest of the six bells that crown the octagonal belfry of the
church of Santa Maria del Pi can be heard ringing out all around Barcelona"s Gothic Quarter. We can now take a closer look at the church of Santa Maria, which nestles between the picturesque squares, the Plaça del Pi and Plaça Sant Josep Oriol.
Tradition has it that this is
Barcelona"s oldest church. Whether this is true or not, it is clear that this 14th-century building stands in one of the
Gothic Quarter"s most charming and least explored spots. Another example of the splendour of the city in the medieval era.
