Barcelona 2005
City of modernism, architecture, culture. Barcelona is a remarkeble city. The whole city is one big monument.
The Barra Gotic (old centre) with its magnificant Cathedral |
The fountain on Placa d'Espanya gives a show away every suterday evening. |
St. Maria del Mar, another example of Catalan gothic architecture. |
Built with a lot of fantasy is A. Gaudi's Casa Batllo |
Strange forms dominate the roof of the Casa Mila (Gaudi). Below, the courtyard. |
Gaudi used organic forms in all of his works like trees, dragons ans cave like spaces. Here in Parc Guell |
The Sagrada famillia. This is the last of the big European cathedrals to be completed. Although it is not finished yet, one gets a glimpse of the grandness it will become. |
Some post - Carnaval festivities on Place de la Catalunya (above) and in the old city (below) |
