All of Barcelona is fantastic, but best of all is its Gothic Quarter, and Parc Guell the magnificent park designed by Gaudì, two of the most spirited areas of an already incredibly spirited city. Spend the day strolling through the streets of the Gothic Quarter, seeing sights from just about every single century, whether it is the 1st century Temple of Augustus, or the 16th century church of Saint Jerome, or even the 20th century designs of Antoni Gaudi in Parc Guell.
Barcelona is the capital of the Catania region of Spain, and since the recognition of Catanian as an official language in the 1970s, the culture in the area has exploded. But even before that, Barcelona was a prime mover in the Art Nouveau era. Often referred to as the “Paris of Spain,” this city is a must see. What are you waiting for? Book Now!
Dedicated to Saint Eulalia, the patron saint of Barcelona, this church is a marvel of Gothic architecture. Once inside, the vaulted ceilings and stained glass windows will cause your jaw to drop. Don’t miss the opportunity to climb to the terrace to say hello to the resident geese, believed by the people of Barcelona to symbolize Eulalia’s martyrdom.
Ah how the glories of ancient Rome are found all over Europe. This ancient temple was built in the 1st century to honor Augustus, the very first Roman Emperor. For so many years a symbol of Imperial power, and then for so many centuries lost, it was rediscovered in the 19th century. It is an excellent place to sit and ponder the vicissitudes of time.
A beautiful square named after its most famous church, which is named after Saint Jerome (no surprise there), who famously translated the entire bible into one common language–Latin. The square today is a fabulous example of Catalan Gothic design. Today it is a popular place for locals and visitors alike.
A huge otherworldly park area built in 1901 by the artist Antoni Gaudi. It is filled with colorfully mosaiced buildings that twist and turn in all sorts of fanciful ways. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a must see for any lover of art and architecture!
