Barcelona is the capital of the province of Catalonia and is not only a Mediterranean city, but also of cosmopolitan importance. Here you will find remains of medieval districts from the Roman era as well as breathtakingly beautiful sights and buildings of the Modernisme-Stis or the avant-garde movements of the 20th century. It is not without reason that many of the emblematic buildings by local architects Lluís Doménech i Montaner and Antoni Gaudí have been included in the UNESCO World Heritage list.
The city's origins go back to the time of the Romans. Such a long history, but also Barcelona's economic dynamism, leaves a cultural testimony of great importance. This can be seen, for example, in the city's broad art-historical heritage or in the new artistic trends that are constantly emerging.
