The 9 Best Monuments & Statues in Port Vell (Old Port), Catalonia
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.

Ride to the top, and you'll see! The Columbus Monument which was dedicated in 1888 as part of the ceremonies marking the Universal Exhibition, stands at the end of La Rambla of Barcelona, near the sea. Take the lift inside the column to the viewing gallery at the top, a viewpoint 60 meters above the ground, where you can enjoy great views of Barcelona.

MIRAESTELS, a floating icon, becomes guardian of the waters. With its watchful presence, it urges us to care for and respect the sea, the origin of known life. And it does so in the Mediterranean of encounters among ancient peoples, a sea of legends, history and culture, all of which today, cruelly punished by our excesses, is in serious danger and sends out a cry for help. MIRAESTELS staring into heaven indicate a double vigilance. From there come the great questions and great answers; no wonder the contemplation of the celestial vault has been the main engine of scientific knowledge. Science continues to declare this: our future demands reserved areas to continue studying the stars and the cosmos away from light pollution. MIRAESTELS from Robert Llimós, painter and sculptor from Barcelona, he is an excellent product of the Academy who has gone through all the avant-garde to return to the origins: painting or depicting what is seen rather than what is felt.
