    I’ve been coming to Barcelona regularly for over 20 years and this is the first time I’ve come to Casa Vicens. It was an amazing experience - I loved everything about it. The building itself and the decorative work are wonderful and I especially appreciated the exhibition which showed models of houses by other well known architects in the same period. The downloadable guide was also very good and staff were friendly and helpful. It was relatively quiet which really helped to get a feel for the building. Highly recommended

    It was on my list as a tourist in Barcelona. After visiting Paris and London I just had to see this one! It is a beautiful piece of architecture and I would expect it is very much photographed across the world. With the Sun shining, cars passing, buskers singing and the atmosphere around, it is a structural must see when passing through the city.

    Impressive monument to the explorer who lost his way enroute to India. The monument includes a grand carved base, and a 60-meter column with statue of Columbus at the top. Located at the end of Las Ramblas near the waterfront. The monument was built for the Barcelona Exhibition of 1888.

    Beautiful park with fountains and a small lake, full of green parrots and a green house. A joy to walk and spend some time in.

    It's a curious and attractive outdoor scuplture in the middle of one of the big walking streets in the old town. Modern, attractive.

    Used to be an advertisement for the "Gambrinus" restaurant - the restaurant is gone the Shrimp designed by Javier Mariscal is till there.
    As you walk the waterfront on the Passeig de Colom - you will sooner or later find it - as long as you go towards the Port Vell area - or back from that direction.
    It is interesting and funny in the same time- since the municipality of Barcelona decided to keep it there - although the restaurant doesn't exist anymore.
    Over the year it became a sort of a landmark - so when you are walking in the area - for sure it is worth a few pics.

    The Quatre Columnes are behind the Magic Fountain. I am not sure that they perform any purpose as they are not supporting anything. Perhaps they were in the past?

    They are quite impressive and make part of an impressive picture of the architecture in the area.

    Located in the Plaza de Catalunya, this statue is next to the Hard Rock Cafe. There's really nothing interesting about it, but you can't miss it...

    This bandstand in Parc de la Ciutadella stands in memory of Sonia Rescalvo Zafra, a transexual who was murdered by a group of Neo-Nazis in the park in1991. A murder which became a turning point in public attitudes towards transexuals in Spain.

    The bandstand isn't much to see, but plus one for the gesture.

    El Toro Pensador is the unusual sculpture of a very thoughtful Bull! Barcelona is full of beautiful sculptures, many of them in animal form, and this one is no exception. The interesting thing here is that at the other end of Las Rambla there sits another animal sculpture (the Flirty Giraffe), and it seems as if the two animals will soon start to want to come closer to each other; but you will have to meet both animals in order to understand the connection.

    Interesting scultpture showing a Giraffe in an flirty pose, located at the start of the Rambla street, worth a look while talking a walk in the area. There is also a second one at the other end of the Rambla street.

    I saw this while running through the park one morning. There are several other statues in the park as well, but I would say this is the main one.

    This monument stands in tribute to Frederic Soler, a Spanish and Catalan poet and playwright who wrote primarily in Catalan. This beautiful monument to Frederic Soler is located in front of the Teater Principal in Plaça del Teatre, near the southern end of La Rambla.

    This monument features a larger than life statue of Soler seated throne like with his crossed legs, facing to his right with an expression of deep thought. The pedestal is more elaborate than is usual and looks a little like an architectural column and richly decorated with floral motifs of leafs. The pedestal is also inscribed with the words "Homenatge a Frederic Soler i Hubert "Serafi Pitarra" (1839-1895).
