Barcelona

The Plaça d'Espanya is a square located at the foot of the Montjuïc. The site was used for public hangings until the gallows were moved to the Ciutadella in 1715.

Built in homage to one of Barcelona's favorite native sons, Parc Joan Miró is a tribute to the surrealist imagination of this 20th century painter and sculptor.

The Barcelona Pavilion, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, was the German Pavilion for the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona, Spain. This building was used for the official opening of the German section of the exhibition. It was an important building in the history of modern architecture, known for its simple form and extravagant materials, such as marble and travertine.

The Palau Nacional is an imposing building that was erected on the occasion of the 1929 International Exhibition, which was held on the flank of a hill called Montjuïc. The sprawling structure now houses the National Art Museum of Catalonia.

Port Vell is a waterfront harbour in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, and part of the Port of Barcelona. It was built as part of an urban renewal program prior to the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Before this, it was a run-down area of empty warehouses, railroad yards, and factories. 16 million people visit the complex each year.

The Magic fountain is a large fountain built in 1929. When the fountain is active, it constantly changes color and shape. The Font Màgica or Magic fountain was part of a project built for the 1929 Universal Exhibition. The exhibition took place on Montjuïc, a hill just southwest of Barcelona's city center.

The Christoffer Columbus Monument was built in 1888 in honor of the renowned explorer and discoverer of America. It consists of a statue of Columbus standing on a tall column. The Corinthian style made pillar is located on the Plaça del Portal de la Pau at the southern end of the Rambla. High up on the Monument is the actual monument, a statue of Colom (Columbus), which shows the direction of America.

This unique sculpture is indicative of the themes of many other Frank O. Gehry works.

The Royal Palace of Pedralbes serves as the Barcelona residence of the royal family of Spain. Two museums are also housed here, a ceramics museum and a museum of decorative arts.

This is one of three houses in this fashionable block designed by a prominent Modernista architect, the other two being Casa Morera by Domènech i Montaner and Casa Batlló by Gaudí. But each of the houses is in a very different style, giving rise to the punning term Mançana de la Discòrdia, meaning "apple of discord" (mançana is the Catalan word for both "apple" and "block"). These three houses were all essentially remodelling jobs with alterations to existing buildings. Here Puig i Cadafalch designed the facade, a foyer, and the owner's residence in the "new" Modernista style.
