Enjoy Barcelona City

The Great city In Europe with so many Wonderful Church and  Modern building.. And the modernist architecture in Barcelona is marked by the works of one of the most outstanding 20th-century architects, Antoni Gaudi. The most prominent of his creations include the Park Guell, a garden complex on a hill remarkable for its curving lines and beautiful mosaics, the Palau Guell with its parabolic arches, intricate forged iron decoration and original receiving room design, La Pedrera (Casa Mila), a building without a single straight line, more of a sculpture than a work of architecture, with an astonishing sculptured roof, and, of course, the Sagrada Familia, the unfinished shell of a church, something out of this world, particularly when lit up at night. 

Palau de la Musica Catalana (the Palace of Catalan Music) is another brilliant example of Modernist architecture in Barcelona and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The concert hall designed by Lluis Domenech i Montaner was inaugurated in 1908. Its stage is apse-shaped, a grand central skylight adds to the effect of the stained-glass windows, its façade features colourful mosaic decorations and a large sculpture of Catalan Popular Song.

The Picasso Museum is one of the most popular museums in Spain, housing an extensive collection of works by the celebrated 20th-century artist. The permanent collection of about 3500 works reveals Picasso's special affinity for Barcelona. The city also boasts the second largest Aquarium in Europe, home to thousands of fishes, penguins and sharks. It claims to be the richest on the subject of Mediterranean marine life. In the Oceanarium, visitors can walk along a methacryllate tunnel and watch the fishes swim around.

Montjuic Mountain overlooks the city and the harbour from the southwest. It is crowned by an 18th-century fortress, and is home to the venues of the Olympic games in 1992 and several fine art galleries. The Palau Nacional nearby houses the National Museum of Catalonian Art, adorned by terraced fountains where a lights and music show is performed on summer evenings. To the northwest of Montjuic is the "Spanish Village" containing copies of buildings from different regions of Spain. It is a great place to attend an authentic flamenco show in a tablao. The Joan Miro Gallery showcases the works of the best known Catalonian artist of the 20th century. Tibidabo is another hill offering a magnificent view of the city. It contains an amusement park and a hair-raising glass elevator going 115 metres up to an observation area at the telecommunications tower.
