Barcelona, ??the second largest city in Spain, has a history of two thousand years. It not only has the stained glass of the Sagrada Familia, but also the glass mosaics of Casa Batlló, the unique promenade rooftop of Park Guell, and the passionate and passionate

The beach has more stunning contemporary art than Dali and Picasso. Therefore, it has won the reputation of the stunning "Flower of Europe".

Cervantes said: Barcelona is the pride of Spain and the most beautiful city in the world. It is fortunate to have three of the world's top artists, Picasso, Miro and Gaudí, at the same time, making it dazzling and unparalleled.

Andersen called Barcelona "the Paris of Spain".

de Barcelona Known as the "Pearl of Iberia", Barcelona is undoubtedly a palace of architectural treasures. The entire city is so beautiful that it is like an open-air architectural museum.

After looking at the navigation, I realized that this building with an Arabic style is the last remaining bullring in Barcelona - La Monumental de Barcelona.

Catalonia, where Barcelona is located, was the first region in Spain to completely ban bullfighting.

Therefore, the bullring has been converted into the largest mosque in Europe, which can accommodate 40,000 people.

Walking on the streets of Barcelona, ??the buildings with different styles are definitely a visual feast. The cultural heritage of medieval Europe and the fashionable charm of the new era are perfectly integrated here.

Passing by a place that looks a bit like Beijing's 798, you can see all kinds of industrial sculptures and avant-garde graffiti everywhere.

I like this photo very much. It feels like seeing the future through history. I call it the Eye of Barcelona.

The blue sky, palm trees, enigmatic modern sculptures, and semicircular steel rings form an ever-changing world.

This is a mysterious picture painted on the ground by steel rings.

While driving yesterday, I saw this tall and iconic Mirador de Colom monument in the rearview mirror.

Today we came to the foot of the towering cylindrical Columbus Monument.

The monument is entirely built of ocher red marble, with two lines of characters "Glory Belongs to Columbus" and "Salute to Columbus" on it to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Columbus's discovery of America.

In 1493, Columbus returned with great honors, and Barcelona became the first place to hear Columbus announce the discovery of the New World and describe the strange new world. This also made the completion of the monument highly anticipated. Since 1893, the Columbus Monument has become one of the symbols of Barcelona.

one.

The monument is 60 meters high. It is said that there is an elevator inside, so you can climb up and have a panoramic view of the Barcelona Port and Las Ramblas.

But the elevator can only accommodate 2 people, so be prepared for long lines.

The full-length statue of Columbus at the top of the Roman column is made of cast iron melted from the cannon in front of the Montjuic Castle. It is the largest statue of Columbus in the world.

Looking up, we see Columbus under the blue sky. He has a globe under his feet and a determined look on his face. He holds a navigation chart in his left hand and points to the sea with his right hand.

The sculptures surrounding the middle of the Roman column are several goddesses of victory flying in the air.

The white marble sculpture on the base of the monument was under maintenance that day and was covered.

The base is inlaid with eight exquisite bronze reliefs, which completely record the entire process of Columbus's voyage, seeking help, exploration and triumph.

The Columbus Monument stands in Columbus Square.

On that day, white tents were set up at the foot of the monument, which was the weekend market that the Spaniards were very fond of.

When you enter Columbus Square, the first thing you see is a sculpture of three sailing ships. Columbus led three large sailing ships on his voyage.

There are several elegant and elegant old buildings around Plaza Columbus, and the Customs House is the most eye-catching. The entire building is the mainstream style that emerged in Barcelona during the Renaissance. Everywhere is exquisitely carved and beautiful.

Opposite the customs building is the yellow port building Port de Barcelona, ??which is also classic and beautiful, but was under repair at the time.

In front of the Port Building stands a strange-looking sculpture of a figure whose head was pooped by a seagull. Romul Boschi Alsina was a senator and mayor of Catalonia. He was the chairman of this pier in the early 20th century. The old pier is named after him.

Named after.

The ancient Renaissance buildings around Columbus Square are bathed in the sea breeze, and their strong bodies have withstood many winds and waves. They still retain the imprint of history and exude classical beauty.
