What are the scenic spots in Barcelona?

Overview Barcelona Barcelona was praised as the most beautiful city in the world by Cervantes, a famous Renaissance writer, while Andersen called Barcelona the Paris of Spain. If you want to leave a deep impression on this beautiful coastal city, you need to highlight the key points of tourism, that is, first, you should look at typical buildings and be influenced by religious and cultural atmosphere; Second, feel the scorching sun by the sea and the passion of the Spanish. Barcelona is surrounded by mountains and seas, and ancient buildings blend with modern styles. No matter where you are in the city, you can look up at Sagrada Familia Cathedral.

The church is magnificent and beautifully carved, with four spires reaching into the sky, which has become a proud symbol of Barcelona. This is a strange church, called by the French. Andoni Gaudi, the greatest Spanish architect, gave her the framework of life. These four minarets, the decoration of animal and plant shapes and the use of painted pottery are rare in other places. The construction of this church began at 1882, but it has not been completed for more than a century. The effect of Gaudi is that the wall is not vertical and the angle is not right angle. Coupled with the ghostly balcony design and romantic colored stone carvings, it is no wonder that people call Gaudi an architectural genius. From Catalonia Square to Gracia Avenue, there is a famous shopping street with many buildings representing Art Nouveau on both sides, two of which were designed by Gaudi: Batlo and Pedreira. Dai's imaginative power endows these buildings with unique and passionate characteristics.

These buildings, like Quayle Park, which he designed and is now listed as an important cultural heritage of mankind by UNESCO, are representatives of Gaudi's surreal architectural style. Barcelona is worthy of the title of art city. Modern artists such as Picasso, Miro and Dali were born here. There are two picasso museum in the world, one in Paris and the other at Moncada Road 15. This is a beautiful mansion built in15th century, with a quiet courtyard and well-decorated rooms. This used to be Picasso's childhood apartment. There are more than 700 paintings in the museum, from which it is not difficult to see his solid and rigorous painting skills.

The early Picasso was quite different from his later surrealism and abstraction. It should be said that knowing Picasso should start from Barcelona. In addition, Barcelona Center for Contemporary Art has the richest collection of works by the great painter Miro in the world, where there are more than 200 sculptures, watercolors and other works of art. In Barcelona, all you can do is stroll along Ramblatt Street and Binhai Dam. The spacious Ramblatt Street in the shade is a lovely pedestrian street, which follows the enchanting charm of the old flower market. There are many uniquely decorated flower shops, book fairs, shops and restaurants on both sides of the street, and there are good photo backgrounds everywhere. Strolling through the streets, passing by tourists from all over the world, watching street performers paint themselves in black and white and dress up as soldiers, puppets, politicians or clowns, vividly. A 60-meter-high Columbus Monument stands on this street to commemorate 1492 Columbus's first return from the American expedition.

Barcelona was the first to hear him officially announce and describe a strange new world. Located in the center of Barcelona, Sagrada Familia Cathedral is the crystallization of Gaudi's life-long creation and a symbol of Barcelona. We will certainly remember that when the Olympic Games were held in Barcelona, whenever the theme image of the Olympic Games appeared on TV, accompanied by solemn and melodious songs, the corn-like spire of Sagrada Familia stood dreamily in the vast fog, and the transcendental beauty was unforgettable. This church, which has been in operation for over 0/00 years, is still under construction. 1884 started and is expected to be completed in 2050. This is the Sagrada Familia Cathedral designed by Gaudi.

The strange romance displayed by the cathedral attracted all eyes of the city. Generations of Barcelona people are not confused by the anxiety and irritability of this tall semi-finished product, but wait calmly and patiently. Gaudi died in 1926, and the plaster model of the church he left was destroyed, which aroused more people's curiosity and made more energetic architects have a sense of mission.

More than 20 years ago, Gaudi accepted the task of continuing to build the Sagrada Familia Church. According to the original design, this is a Gothic church. People put it in the city center, hoping that it will become the symbol and spiritual pillar of Barcelona. In order to live up to expectations, Gaudi carefully designed and built it from the beginning. Later, the success of Mira apartment brought him fame and made him confident enough to turn the church into a personalized dream song. He constantly improves and modifies the model. The higher the church is built, the stronger Gaudi's personal impression becomes. The towering square tower became a hollow round tower, and 18 was built in one * *!

Sagrada Familia church in front of us, with its spires standing side by side, is tall and straight, and the top is decorated with colorful mosaics. This is a romantic scene that we will never see in Gothic churches or the British Parliament. Sagrada Familia is a Gothic ghost, which stimulates people to get used to traditional eyes and brains. Amazing buildings can grow like this! Under the minaret, there is a huge pointed arch and round window that we are familiar with. We were about to give it a heartfelt compliment, but we were immediately confused by the strange decorations around it. Those tiny and weird decorations hang down like stalactites, and the pure Gothic layout is swallowed up by these personalized decorations.

Gaudi said that he symbolized the birth, suffering and resurrection of Jesus on three sides of the church. Eighteen minarets represent his twelve followers, four missionaries and the Virgin Mary, and the tallest one in the middle symbolizes Jesus. He also pointed out the meaning of those strange geometric shapes, sculptures and reliefs again and again. We don't have to pay too much attention to his explanation, it's just an excuse for Gaudi to show his passion and personality. In Mira apartment, what we saw was a sculptural building. In contrast, Sagrada Familia Church is like a mysterious alien thing. Gaudi's extraordinary imagination has been fully exerted here. Unfortunately, until his death, the construction of the church was far from complete, and people had to hold religious ceremonies in the magnificent wall with blue sky above their heads designed by Gaudi. The wall seemed to be in ruins, further enhancing its mystery. The Holy Family Church has become a symbol of Barcelona. People love it and are proud of it, printing its image on postcards, toys, handkerchiefs, hairpins and brooches.

Just like Mira apartment, the mysterious and strange artistic conception of Sagrada Familia also reveals the simple and naive taste of folk art, and does not pursue the luxury and nobility of Italian and French architecture, so people say that Gaudi's architecture is only suitable for Barcelona, and it will lose its elegance without the special environment of this city. In fact, in the west, there are many examples of churches built with centuries of efforts. Pisa Cathedral took 22 1 year, Amiens Cathedral took 190 years, Milan Cathedral took 100 years, Florence Cathedral took 200 years, Ulm Cathedral took 1 15 years to complete, Westminster Cathedral and Cologne Cathedral.

In China, there are also such examples. The excavation of Yungang Grottoes took more than 60 years, the construction of Longmen Grottoes took more than 400 years and the achievement of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes took more than 900 years. Almost all temples have experienced repeated destruction, repeated construction, repeated expansion and contraction. Modern people who are used to changing a little every year from the beginning of the year to the end of the year and changing a lot in three years have no patience to wait for the low wall columns and roof purlins that they can't afford, and they can't tolerate Michelangelo and Raphael painting the unfinished dome for ten and a half days. They couldn't stop Donatello and Benigni from insisting on destroying the nearly finished sculpture because of a little difference. Adequate funds, motor assistance and modern technology of prefabricated assembly can't slow down the progress of the project, but today's construction workers really can't understand the emotional responsibility and unswerving labor of ancient craftsmen. Once piety is refined, faith is transformed into fiber, which is not clever, but also clever. Such a building became an ancient building in the process of construction, and it must be a famous building after completion.

Hundreds of years later, the successor's design can still be coordinated with the previous style and can still be linked with the early projects. The reason is that it has communicated the hearts of generations. Sincerity, both sincerity and sincerity. With such sincerity, the wrinkles between the old and the young are smoothed, the differences between the modern and the past are resolved, and the boundaries between religion and art are blurred. El Park 1900 El El entrusted Gaudi to design a middle-class suburban residential area in the northern suburb of Barcelona at that time. The planning of this residential area was not realized, but a park, Guell Park, was built. At the entrance of the park, there are two small offices designed by Gaudi. After entering the garden, a unique big step leads people to a multi-column hall, followed by an ancient Greek theater. The big steps continue to lead people to the roof platform in the multi-column hall. The platform is wide, about 30 meters wide and deep, surrounded by low walls and chairs.

It is a good place for tourists to have fun, party, walk and dance. Ju 'er Park is a masterpiece of Gaudi's mature creative career, which fully embodies his aesthetic thoughts. There are also many small towers and protrusions on the roofs of the two small buildings at the gate of the park. Their shapes are strange. Its appearance is made of white, linear, brown, blue, green, orange and other colors of broken porcelain, with strange patterns. After entering the garden, a large step with a special shape leads people to a multi-column hall. The columns of the multi-column hall are in regular shape and orderly arrangement, which is rare in Gaudi's works. Behind the hall is the theater, and dogs step on the roof platform of the multi-column hall. There are low walls and chairs around the platform, which is a place for swimming, gathering and dancing. The low wall around the roof twists and turns, and colorful tiles are stuck on the wall, forming a strange and inexplicable pattern, like a curved python. The platform wall twists and turns like a curved wax python.

The overlapping buildings in Juer Park fully show the unique aesthetic taste of architects. Opening hours: summer:10: 00-21:00; Winter:10: 00-16: 00; Location and transportation: After getting off the subway, you can get there by the street sign. Plaza Catalunya Plaza Catalunya is located in the center of Barcelona, connecting the old city and the expansion area. It is also the starting point of la rambla and gracia, the main streets of the city. The beautiful square is paved with green lawns, and there is a beautiful stone statue of the goddess of meditation, which looks serene and dignified: the fountain with flying beads and jumping jade is sparkling like a crystal palace. On weekends and holidays, it is crowded and extremely busy here. All kinds of vendors, selling colored balloons, selling ice cream and wandering artists are attracting the attention of children and adults. Flocks of pigeons strolling in squares and lawns seem to enjoy life more than busy tourists.

Like all the famous squares in Europe, the Plaza Catalunya is not big, and there is no classic and continuous urban design like the Plaza Venezia. It is just a square formed by the intersection of several streets, with some exquisite sculptures and fountains. It is more a symbol of history and humanity, and people from all over the world gather here to watch pigeons. Plaza Catalunya is also the shopping, entertainment and transportation center of the city. Around the square are all kinds of tall buildings, shops, restaurants and bars. Bus stations, railway stations and subway stations gather here, and the largest information desk of Barcelona Tourism Bureau is also located here. There is a famous shopping center in Britain next to it. Although it has a long history, the interior of shopping centers in England, like all shopping centers, is not much different from the eastern ocean.

But from the fifth floor, it entered the essence, that is, all kinds of gifts and handicrafts that can only be bought in Barcelona. The souvenirs of Barcelona in British shopping centers are all made in Spain, and the more expensive ones are handmade and worth buying. Columbus Memorial Column The Columbus Memorial Column was designed by Raphael Archie. It is located in the middle of Binhai Avenue, at the end of Ramblas Avenue, at the intersection of the left and right sides of Binhai Avenue.

Built for the 1888 World Expo, an energetic statue of Columbus stands on the top of the 60-meter-high tower, pointing in the direction of the New World, and its base is surrounded by eight huge black lions. The full-length statue of Columbus at the top of the column is made of cast iron melted by the cannon in front of Montedek Castle. This is the largest statue of Columbus in the world. Next to the memorial harbor, a replica sailboat Santa Maria was moored, which Columbus took on his first voyage exploration.

The hull is 25 meters long, 8 meters at its widest point and weighs 90 tons. Columbus, a dangerous man who opened the maritime hegemony for Spain, was really loved by the Spanish. The tower is equipped with an elevator and leads to the observation deck at the top of the column for tourists to climb and enjoy the scenery. Columbus was an Italian navigator. Born in Genoa, Italy and died in valladolid, Spain. Engaged in navigation all his life. Moved to Portugal and Spain. I believe that the earth is spherical, and I believe that India and China can sail from Europe to the east.

With the support of the king of Spain, he made four voyages (1492 ~ 1493, 1493 ~ 1496, 1498 ~ 1500,/kloc-). It has reached Bahamas, Cuba, Haiti, Dominica, Trinidad and other islands. First landed on the south bank of Parrilla Bay in the United States. Investigate the Honduran coastline in Central America, more than 2,000 kilometers in the Gulf of Darian; Understand the isthmus of Panama; The wind direction changes of the Atlantic Ocean blowing east wind at low latitudes and west wind at high latitudes were discovered and utilized. The correctness of the theory of the earth ball is proved. It promotes the connection between the old world and the new world.

He mistook the new world he arrived in for India and called the locals Indians. On August 3rd, 492, Columbus was sent by the King of Spain, with credentials to the Indian monarch and emperor China, and led three sailboats with a tonnage of100t to sail out of the Atlantic Ocean from Barros, Spain, heading due west. After 70 days and nights of hard sailing, land was finally found in the early morning of 1492 65438+ 10/2. Columbus thought he had arrived in India. Later, I learned that Columbus landed on this land, which belongs to the Bahamas in Central America and the Caribbean today. He named it San Salvador at that time. On March 1993, Columbus returned to Spain.

After that, he sailed west three times and landed on many coasts of America. Until 1506 died, he thought he had arrived in India. Later, an Italian scholar named Amerigo, after more investigations, learned that these places where Columbus arrived were not India, but an unknown new continent. Columbus discovered the new continent. However, this continent is named after the person who proved that it is a new continent: America. Later, there were all kinds of whispers about who first discovered America. The conclusion that Columbus discovered the New World is beyond doubt. This is because all the old continents in Europe, Asia and Africa don't know that there is this continent on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

As for who arrived in America first, that is another question, because Native Americans themselves immigrated from Asia in ancient times. The first civil aviation seas in China and Oceania may also reach America, but these cannot change the fact that Columbus discovered the new continent. Columbus's voyage was the beginning of the era of great navigation. The opening of the new route has changed the course of world history. It shifted the route of overseas trade from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic coast. From then on, the West finally walked out of the darkness of the Middle Ages and began to rise in the world with an irresistible trend, and in the following centuries, it achieved maritime hegemony. A brand-new industrial civilization has become the mainstream of world economic development.

Mila House, covering an area of 1 1000 square meters, is Gaudi's most mature naturalistic work. From the inside out, the whole structure has no edges and corners, and the design without straight lines creates an infinite sense of space flow. Because of its ivory stone, Milla House is nicknamed La Pedrera by Barcelona people. The appearance of Mira House is an incredible white wavy building, which is resplendent, luxurious and exquisite with the finely crafted wrought iron balcony. Gaudi's mastery of cast iron materials is admirable, which can be fully exerted.

As Milla's house is located in the corner, Gaudi tries to save space. First of all, the exterior of the building is a slab that looks heavy but is actually thin; Two patios were designed, and the floor plan of the house became doughnut-shaped, so that both sides of each house can be lit, and all the spaces in the house can be connected with each other, which not only saves the space of the aisle, but also saves the space to the last centimeter.

No matter then or today, it should be a bold, scientific and avant-garde design. In addition to attractive appearance, when you climb the roof, a dozen novel and avant-garde alien hackers will stand on it, as if traveling through time and space, presenting a smiling future world. In fact, these are all smoke pipes or water towers, but Gaudi is used to beautifying them and turning them into a beautiful leisure place, so he has to respect Gaudi's rich imagination again. Even after nearly a hundred years, they are still as avant-garde and dazzling! However, Milla's house, which was built in 1906- 19 10, had a rough fate.

Although it was originally a mansion of an industrial giant, it later became a casino and once became a cram school and sublet apartment. After 1984 was designated as a world cultural heritage by UNESCO, 1986 was bought by Catalonia Art Center for 900 million yuan, and then it was renovated for 10 billion yuan to reproduce its beauty.
