Barcelona is a city to get to know in all its facets. To discover and to let it discover you. To enjoy in every way. To see, smell, taste, touch and listen to. To forget whatever it is you want to forget and remember whatever you need to.
Barcelona, a city to love. A city to share.

Calatrava Tower & Olympic Stadium
The Montjuïc Communications Tower, popularly known as Torre Calatrava, is a telecommunication tower in the Montjuïc neighborhood of Barcelona. Designed by Santiago Calatrava, construction on the tower began in 1989 and was completed in 1992. The white tower was built for Telefónica to transmit television coverage of the 1992 Summer Olympics Games in Barcelona. The 136 m (446 ft) tower is located in the Olympic park, and represents an athlete holding the Olympic Flame. The base is covered with trencadís, Gaudí's mosaic technique created from broken tile shards. Because of the tower's orientation, it works also as a giant sundial, which uses the Europa square to indicate the hour.
Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, formerly known as the Estadi Olímpic de Montjuïc or Barcelona Olympic Stadium, is a stadium in Barcelona. Originally built in 1927 for the 1929 International Exposition in the city (and Barcelona's bid for the 1936 Summer Olympics, which were awarded to Berlin), it was renovated in 1989 to be the main stadium for the 1992 Summer Olympics.[1] The stadium has a capacity of 55,926 (67,007 during the 1992 Olympics), and is located in the Anella Olímpica, in Montjuïc, a large hill to the southwest of the city which overlooks the harbour.
