Arc de Triomf

Triumphal arch

The arch was built for the 1888 Universal Exposition;  designed by Catalan architect modernist Josep Vilaseca

Arc de Triomf is built with colourfull brickwall in style, which has origins in Moorish architecture. The arch is adorned with a large number of statues and reliefs.

When you look into arc de Triomf, you can see a small stunning piece of Barcelona inside. It's the view, which you must remember, if you visit the city, because it seems like all the nicest parts of skyline are included.
