Monuments to visit Barcelona

Under the Born market, archaeologists discovered the remains of 1714 of the city's old wholesale market. Excavations can see how construction of the th century was structured. Space should be transformed into a cultural centre.

La Monumental bullring is the only bullring in the city of Barcelona, located at the crossroads of Gran Via des Corts Catalanes and Carrer Marina. They are listed as a "property of local cultural interest". Inaugurated in 1914, they were remodeled in 1916 to accommodate up to 24,000 spectators. Neo-Mudejar and neo-Byzantine in style, they are decorated with blue and white mosaics. With a current capacity of 19,500, the arena hosts a variety of musical and circus events. A metro station, named Monumental, serves the arena from carrer Marina. In 2014, a project to transform the arena into a forty-thousand-seat mosque was proposed by Qatar, but has since been abandoned.

This house, founded in 1820, then underwent several renovations. The facade as inside has preserved the charm of the past century. The shop's storefront testifies to cabinetmaking and impressive metals.

Raise your eyes. It is above the banking agency on the ground floor that you will discover the magnificent decorations of the facade, otherwise adorned with spectacular medallions.
