Barcelona is the most modern and cosmopolitan city of Spain. Barcelona has a long history but the center of the city seems almost untouched by the time. The old historical part of the city is called Ciutat and there are concentrated the most of Barcelona's places of interest. Till 1860 this area was surrounded by the wall.

Barcelona differs from the rest of Spain very much - it's the heart and capital of the Catalan province and has its own language and traditions. Masterpieces of Antonio Gaudi - Barcelona's most famous architect, are known worldwide and became symbols of the city.
Barcelona has an immense cultural heritage. More than 50 museums show the art, culture and history of Barcelona. The biggest port in the Mediterranean Sea, Barcelona is considered "the most European city of Spain". In Barcelona they like holidays very much - they have more festivals and celebrations than anywhere else in Spain.
