Meet Barcelona

Barcelona's highest summit is on Tibidabo, a hill that has become the most important historical meeting and recreation point among Barcelona residents.

The earliest records of this Romanesque hermitage in the Collserola Natural Park date back to the 9th century.

The historical Raval neighbourhood, which remained outside the city walls during the Middle Ages, is now the neighbourhood with the city's richest and most varied cultural offering.

This building represents the artistic splendour of Gaudí, the Modernista fantasy par excellence that is distinguished by its roof in the shape of a dragon's back and a spectacular mosaic facade.

Set up as a cultural centre in 1998, the Nau Ivanow is a leader in the creation, production and diffusion of performing arts.

The underground air-raid shelter built by local residents during the Spanish Civil War can be visited via guided tours.

This is one of the city's largest green spaces, a place for enjoying sport, leisure pursuits and nature in all its splendour.

Crossing  the Collserola mountain range from one end to the other, Passeig de les Aigües is both a magnificent green trail and a privileged viewing point. 

Formerly a village separate from the city, the Horta neighbourhood preserves its splendid old quarter, made up of little squares and small streets, where life still goes on at a village pace.

An old textile factory, recovered by residents in La Bordeta. The venue has become a focus for social and cultural activity and features, among others, a workshop, a library and a popular athenaeum.

Antoni Gaudí's genius turned the ruins of a historical Collserola site into a dream castle known as the Torre Bellesguard, or Bellesguard House.

A decade after it opened, the Fòrum has found its identity and brought structures, transport and technology to an area practically ignored by the city.
