Barcelona City Info Barcelona Hotels
 

Barcelona is one of the most popular cities in Spain. The city prides itself for having hosted Olympic Games in 1992. This event, in itself, produced many extensive changes to the city, including parks, museums, roads, and urban development. Barcelona is a city filled with history, culture, and variety. As a result, the city has a million different sites, monuments, and shows to interest a wide range of visitors.

As early as the fourth century BCE, Barcelona’s cycle of invasions began. And with each new conqueror came visible influence on the city’s culture, politics, and architecture. Around the year 250 BCE, the Carthaginians were the first to settle in the north-astern corner of the Iberian Peninsula. It was one Carthaginian, Amilcar Barca, who founded the city and is credited for its original name, Barcino. Romans took over the Peninsula, along with Barcino, by the first century BCE, bringing with them architecture that is still visible within the city today.

Barcelona is known for its various tourist attractions including Gothic Quarter, Cathedral of Barcelona, art galleries, artisan boutiques, shops, and restaurants. Today, this city is well-built, well-structured, and well-planned. Various industries have thrived up to attract FDI to give this city a modern outlook.
