The Museu d'Historia de Barcelona has excavated miles of Roman ruins of the original city of Barcino, founded by the Romans more than 2000 years ago, under the streets of modern Barcelona.
At the tip of La Rambla in the center of the Plaça de Catalunya, this monument celebrates Francesc Macià i Llussà, a Catalonian politician who spoke out for an independent Catalonia.
This sculpture, in the Plaça de Sant Miquel in Barcelona, pays homage to castellers. These Catalonians build human towers 9 or 10 people high, and they still gather to build at festivals or cultural celebrations today.
