Arc de Triomf Gateway to the 1888 Expo

Passeig Luís Companys, s/n Barcelona, Barcelona 08002

This brick arch was designed in the Mudéjar style, as the entry gate for the 1888 Expo, by Josep Vilaseca. The coats-of-arms, which represents all the Spanish provinces, were placed around it, with Barcelona's in the middle—the place of honour. On the sides of the arch are four statues of women symbolizing fame. Other stone carvings represent various countries' participation in the Expo, and Barcelona thanking them for their attendance. It is not as grand as the Paris version, perhaps, but still beautiful and worth a visit. Review © 2009, Wcities
