Barcelona from above. Magnificent Barcelona from above. Magnificent Park Guell

Barcelona is the second most populous city in Spain. Population - 1.6 million people. Capital of the autonomous region of Catalonia. The suburbs are home to 3.2 million people, and the province has 5 million inhabitants. Barcelona is one of the most important tourist destinations on European routes - the main tourist pearl of Spain.

Barcelona is located on the Mediterranean coast, 120 km from the French border.

The Eixample or "New Town" is the most populated area of Barcelona. The rectilinear layout was first used in Barcelona and remains one of its attractions.

The straight and wide streets of Eixample, designed by the architect Ildefons Cerdà, form rectangular blocks with characteristic chamfered corners. This street layout allows traffic to move freely and provides good lighting and ventilation. Thanks to the octagonal shape of the blocks, improved visibility at intersections is achieved, and currently the additional free space at the corner of each block is used for short-term parking.

Avenue Diagonal is a street that crosses the city diagonally from the border with the municipality of Esplugues de Llobregat to the sea.

Gran Via is one of the most important streets in Barcelona. The length of Gran Via is about 13.1 kilometers, making it the longest street in all of Spain.

The main attraction of Barcelona is the Sagrada Familia, also known as the Sagrada Família. The main creation of Antoni Gaudi.

The temple has been built with private donations since 1882, making it one of the most famous long-term construction projects in the world.

Facade of passions. The towers of the Sagrada Familia are topped with pinnacles with ceramic decoration and hide spiral staircases inside.

According to Gaudi's plan, the temple will be crowned with eighteen towers. Twelve of them, four on each facade, ranging in height from 98 to 112 meters, will be dedicated to the twelve apostles.

Four 120-meter towers above the middle cross in honor of the Evangelists will surround the central 170-meter tower of Jesus, and the slightly smaller bell tower of the Virgin Mary will be located above the apse. With the construction of the central tower, the church should become the tallest in the world.

Nativity facade

The speedy completion of construction is hampered by the complexity of making stone blocks that form the eccentric shape of the structure. According to the computer model, each of them requires individual processing and adjustment. In addition, difficulties arose due to the fact that Gaudi worked without drawings. According to the Spanish government, the cathedral will be completely completed no earlier than 2026.

Gaudi himself dedicated 40 years of his life to the temple. When he was asked if he was afraid of not having time to complete the Cathedral during his lifetime, he answered: “I have a lot of time, since my main customer is the Lord, and he is in no hurry.”

Until the end of his life, even leaving his architectural practice, Gaudi continued to build a temple, considering this the main thing in his biography. At the end of his life, Gaudí became very eccentric due to religious fanaticism. He practically never left his workshop. The architect's absent-mindedness led him to death under the wheels of a tram.

House of Mila. Residential building built in 1910 by Antoni Gaudi. This was Gaudí's last secular work before he devoted himself entirely to the Sagrada Familia. In 1984, Casa Mila became the first 20th-century structure to be included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The seaport of the capital of Catalonia has a 2000-year history! During this time, it managed to turn into one of the most important sea ports in Europe, ranking 9th among the largest ports in Europe.

The Port of Barcelona covers an area of almost 8 square kilometers and is divided into 3 main zones: Port Vell (Old Port), commercial port and logistics port. Among the ocean liners, I saw here Roman Abramovich's yacht Eclipse, which is the largest private motor vessel in the world.

After Moscow views from the Ostankino TV tower, today we will look at another city from above - Barcelona. Let's compare the architecture.

This is the main tourist pearl of Spain and the second most populous city in the country, the capital of the autonomous region of Catalonia. Barcelona has a population of 1.6 million people, making it the tenth city in the European Union. It is worth adding that 3.2 million people live in the suburbs, and the province has 5 million inhabitants.

Of course, for most, Barcelona is inextricably linked with the name of the architect Antoni Gaudi, who created a unique image of the city. Most of his creations are concentrated in Barcelona.

Barcelona is one of the best destinations for an educational trip and a relaxing holiday. Seeing what Barcelona looks like from a bird's eye view is worth a lot. This ancient city in Spain is filled with interesting architecture. Medieval buildings stand next to neo-Gothic structures, and winding streets contrast with the strict geometry of the New District quarters.

Travel to Barcelona

Travelers love this city due to its long beach season. In the very center is the famous Barceloneta beach.

Barcelona is one of the largest cities in Spain. It is located on the Mediterranean coast. The city is famous for its mild climate, rich architecture and many kilometers of beaches.

In Barcelona, tourists can see spectacular events. These include the parade of giant figures. The city has the largest aquarium in Spain and even in Europe.

Advice! Many travelers recommend attending flamenco evenings. In this case, you need to purchase tickets in advance. It is believed that in order to return to Barcelona you need to drink a sip of water from the Canaletes spring, which is located at the end of La Rambla.

La Rambla

You can start exploring the city from the Rambla, which starts from the Columbus Monument in the Old Port. Street dancers, actors and artists meet on the boulevard. In ancient times, a river flowed on the site of the boulevard. Currently, wavy lines on the tiles remind us of this.

The appearance of the street has remained unchanged since the 18th century.

On the boulevard it is worth visiting:

Palace Guell.
Pedestrian bridge.
Canaletas Fountain.
Opera theatre.
Mosaic by Joan Miró.
Boqueria Market.

Advice!If you go to the city in September, you can catch the fun street festival La Merce. This holiday is dedicated to the patron saint of the city, who saved it from locusts. Theatrical performances take place in the square, and music plays everywhere.

Sagrada Familia

One of the famous attractions is the Catholic Church of the Sagrada Familia. This is an architectural creation by Antonio Gaudi, which was built over a century and a half. The façade of the composition is filled with scenes from the life of Christ. The building is supported by bizarrely shaped supporting columns. Construction of the cathedral was stopped in 2008 because the architects stated that each block of the temple required precise and expensive computer processing. But the construction of this facility is planned to continue.

On the territory of the complex you can visit the museum and climb the tower.

Advice!It is worth visiting the Agbar Tower, which glows with many lights at night.

Be prepared to see a huge queue at the entrance to the temple. Thousands of tourists try to get to the Sagrada every day. Don't let the length of the line scare you. In a maximum of 45 minutes you will already be inside.

Gothic Quarter and Cathedral

The Gothic Quarter is one of the oldest attractions in Barcelona. It is famous for its merchant buildings, churches, medieval streets and colossal architectural objects. The quarter was built on destroyed Roman buildings.

There are many squares in this area. These are the King's Square, San Jaume, St. James, Royal and Pine Square. From the ancient buildings you can see the Frederic Mares museum complex, Roman columns, a large number of ancient temples and the famous Cathedral. This temple was built in the Gothic style back in the 15th century. The building is decorated with exquisite details - slender columns, towers - spiers and a magnificent “rosette”. The dome offers an excellent view of the city.

Advice!Barcelona is not considered a completely safe place, so you need to carefully monitor your belongings. A backpack should not be worn on your back, especially on the subway. You should not wear a camera around your neck, as it can be torn off in a crowd. Particular vigilance should be exercised at the airport and railway stations.

Famous houses

In the city center you can see a unique architectural landmark. This is Gaudi's house, called Cassa Mila. The building does not have a single corner. The building has no load-bearing walls or supports; it is supported by columns in the Gaudí style. The partitions can be rearranged wherever you like. In addition, the building provides ingenious ventilation.

Casa Batllo is considered another architectural masterpiece. It translates as house of bones. Its balconies are made in the shape of a skull, and its columns look like bones.
The house is also equipped with technologies that were unique for its time. The light flow and ventilation are designed so that the rooms are always fresh and bright.

Notable is the facade of the building with contrasting ceramic cladding and the interior of the rooms, furnished with furniture designed by Gaudi.

Another unusual house was designed by the architect Joseph Puig. It's called the house of thorns. The building was erected in the era of modernism and differs from Gaudí's style.

The house got its name because of the towers on which the spiers are located. The building has a hexagonal shape and contains elements of European Gothic.

Advice! Tibidabo is considered the highest mountain. It has an observation deck and an amusement park. To get there you need to take the Blue tram and then transfer to the funicular.

Magnificent Park Guell

The park was created in 1914 according to the design of the architect Gaudi. It is made in a fairy-tale style and covers an area of 15 hectares. It houses the house of the great architect, which has now become a museum. And Güell's house is a municipal school.

On the territory of the park it is worth seeing the fairy-tale houses, the main staircase in the Salamander mosaic, the wavy mosaic bench, the hall with a hundred columns and the central square.

Advice! The park is located on a mountain where you can see the famous lizard statue. There is an observation deck at the highest point of the hill.

Famous aquarium

In Barcelona you can see the famous aquarium, which is also a center for the study of fauna in the Mediterranean Sea. The exhibit consists of different tropical systems. You can observe the inhabitants of the Red Sea, the Great Barrier Reef, and also see small aquariums with small marine inhabitants.

You can walk through the long tunnel of the aquarium and watch sharks swim overhead.

Advice! Near the entrance to the Rambla is the Boqueria market. Here you can buy a variety of fruits and vegetables, meat, as well as snacks or freshly squeezed juices.

Unique museums

The Picasso Museum displays authentic paintings by the great artist. In the halls of the museum you can see more than three thousand works by the artist and his friend Sabartes. In addition, the museum features an exhibition of ceramics that was made by Picasso's widow.

The museum often hosts various temporary exhibitions. Paintings by other artists who contributed to the development of art in the city are also exhibited.

The collections are housed in five gigantic mansions that were built in the 13th century.

The collections include more than 600 exhibits. These are various sarcophagi, things of the pharaohs, objects of cult life and amulets with papyri. Also on the territory of the museum complex there is a scientific library, in the halls of which more than 5 thousand volumes are stored.

Montjuic

On its territory you can see a dancing and singing fountain, which shimmers with a variety of colors.

On the hill is the Spanish Village, which is an architectural museum. In it you can see a copy of the gates of the city of Avila and other unusual buildings. Nearby is the sports palace and stadium, which were built for the 1992 Olympic Games.

Advice! In Barcelona it is worth finding a place where they perform real Catalan rumba. This is a spectacular dance that was brought from Liberty Island and then modified by local gypsies.

Beautiful monasteries

In the vicinity of the city you can visit the monastery of San Miguel del Fai. This is a structure carved into the rock. Its walls and roof are made of rock. Currently, the monastery is a unique monument with grottoes, caves and waterfalls.

Also far from Barcelona is the Montserrat Monastery. It is visited not only by pilgrims, but also by thrill-seekers. You can visit the top of the mountain and make a wish at the statue of the Madonna. Construction of the temple began after a statue of the Madonna was found in a cave in 880. After the Napoleonic wars the temple was destroyed. Currently, on the territory of the restored temple there is a museum with works by Caravaggio and Salvador Dali.

Funicular leading to the monastery

Advice! A funicular takes you up the mountain. You can get to Montserrat Monastery by train.
