BARCELONA

A seaport on the Mediterranean and host of the 1992 Olympic Games, Barcelona is the capital of the autonomous region of Catalonia in northeastern Spain. The city masterfully combines the vestiges of its Roman past—in particular its old city quarter—and beautiful examples of Modernism and the Vanguard Movement of the 20th century. UNESCO has declared the works of Catalan architects, Antoni Gaudí and Lluís Doménech i Montaner, as World Heritage Sites.
