Barcelona

The multicultural and playful city of Barcelona, founded more than 2,000 years ago, is the capital of Catalonia and combines elements of Roman times, medieval quarters, examples of Modernist style and 20th-century avant-garde movements. While for many people the Sagrada Família by Antoni Gaudí is Barcelona's architectural symbol par excellence, the port city offers many other architectural and cultural attractions and a vibrant nightlife.
