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.

The front frieze contains the stone sculpture Barcelona rep les nacions (Catalan for "Barcelona welcomes the nations") by Josep Reynés.

The arch is located between Passeig de Lluís Companys and Passeig de Sant Joan, at the end of a wide promenade connecting with the Park of the Ciutadella.
