About Barcelona

Barcelona or Catalonia is one of the most renowned cities in Spain. The city manages to encapsulate the incredible essence of European architecture while being a busy metropolis epicenter of Spain. The serene Sagrada Familia church will surely enrich your soul with its mesmerizing beauty.

Moreover, the city entrenches architecture in a perfectly subtle yet emphatic way, with the infusion of the ancient monuments and the modern landmarks of Antoni Gaudi. 

Modern art and architecture are therefore flourishing in Barcelona. Along with artistic aesthetics, the city evokes Catalan creativity in everything you taste, touch, or experience. Visiting Barcelona is like a flurry of emotions; it is sometimes chaotic and, other times, intense. Get inspired by Barcelona’s luminaries and legends in the city’s heart, Placa de Catalonia. To the south, experience the busy and bustling side of Barcelona, in La Rambla. 

If you want to feel the historical presence of Barcelona, pass through the Roman Towers that use to guard the city in ancient times. More importantly, along with the many ancient cathedrals, you also find plenty of museums and art galleries that transcend you to ancient magnificence.
