The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Ciutadella / Vila Olimpica, Catalonia

August 10, 2021 Dorsey Hagwood

Barcelona feels a bit surreal – appropriate, since Salvador Dali spent time here and Spanish Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí designed several of the city’s buildings. Stepping into Gaudí’s Church of the Sacred Family is a bit like falling through the looking glass - a journey that you can continue with a visit to Park Güell. Sip sangria at a sidewalk café in Las Ramblas while watching flamboyant street performers, then create your own moveable feast by floating from tapas bar to tapas bar.

Strolling through the park we happened upon this after visiting the Catalonian Parliament building. The sculpture is just lovely. Spend a while taking in the form.

Poblenou Cemetery

Reviewed By weekak - Edinburgh, United Kingdom

A beautiful cemetery with some amazing sculptures including the kiss of death which is situated on the left as you enter the cemetery in department 4t, it took me a while to find it as I went in the wrong direction but seen some stunning sculptures along the way, also came across a very scary, very angry seagull who kept swooping down aiming for my head and trying to poo on me, needless to say I screamed a few times in very quiet grounds but don't let the seagull put you off, this is a must see, a very beautiful, peaceful place.

Cascada Monumental

Reviewed By Margo7850p

The Cascada Monumental is a breathtaking waterfall located inside of the huge Ciutadella Park. The Cascada is located at the northern corner of the park opposite to the lake. It was erected by Josep Fontsére and to a small extent by Antoni Gaudí, who at that time was still an unknown student of architecture. Beautiful tiered fountain rolling at the base of Venus statue. One of the most impressive attractions in Barcelona. Beautiful. Must see.

Arc de Triomf

Reviewed By 795gl - Bridgeboro, United States

Built for the 1888 Barcelona World Fair, and still standing proudly over the wide central promenade of the Passeig de Lluís Companys, leading to the Ciutadella Park that now occupies the site of the world fair. The craftsmanship of the arch, street lights and the other artwork is magnificent.
