Park Ciutadella - is a monument that leads to the gateway to the Parc de la Ciutadella and one of Barcelona’s most treasured landmarks.
Monumental bullring was built in 1914 and is the world’s only Art-Nouveau bullring. It was the last active bullring in Catalonia that was closed in 2011 because bullfighting was banned by the Parliament of Catalonia. The building is dedicated to the small bullfighting museum.
Arc de Triomf was built as the gateway to the 1888 Universal Exhibition. The architect Josep Vilaseca designed the monument as an allegory of Barcelona’s respect for the nations and provinces taking part in the exhibition. The combination of red brick with a series of friezes around the arch makes it a singularly beautiful landmark of the city.
Port Olímpic marina is the perfect place to enjoy leisure activities very close to the city's most renowned beaches.
