Barcelona

The Mediterranean coast defines the setting of Barcelona — beaches, the working port and a long waterfront keep the sea woven into the city’s everyday life. Inland, the Eixample’s disciplined grid, planned in the 19th century, contrasts with the narrow streets of the Gothic Quarter, where fragments of Roman Barcino remain. Antoni Gaudí’s Sagrada Família has been under construction since 1882, while Park Güell and Casa Batlló express the inventive forms of Catalan Modernisme. Montjuïc rises above the harbour with museums, gardens and Olympic venues from the 1992 Games. Browse other webcams across Catalonia to place this Mediterranean city in a wider geographic context.
