History
Barcelona, the vibrant capital of Catalonia, is a city where history and modernity coexist in a stunning urban tapestry. Originally a Roman settlement, Barcelona has evolved over centuries into a cultural, artistic, and architectural hub. Its medieval Gothic Quarter contrasts beautifully with the modernist landmarks of Antoni Gaudí, including the world-famous Sagrada Família, Parc Güell, and Casa Batlló.

From the bustling Las Ramblas to the picturesque waterfront of Port Olímpic, Barcelona’s unique blend of old-world charm and contemporary energy attracts millions of visitors each year.
