Best Parks in Barcelona "Best Parks in Barcelona" Créé par: Cityseeker 8 Emplacements marqués Parc de la Ciutadella "Nature, Culture, & Artistry Meet" Parc de la Ciutadella is a lush attraction nestled in the Old City, known locally as the Ciutat Vella. The park was designed by Josep Fontserè and his then-unknown assistant Antoni Gaudí, who went on to pioneer Catalan modernism with such masterpieces as the Basilica de la Sagrada Família. Although it no longer bears the distinction of being the only green space by Bernard Gagnon in the city, the park remains an important respite for city dwelling nature lovers, as well as those looking to experience the essence of Barcelona. Within the park are several attractions for the whole family, among them the Barcelona Zoo and Catalan Parliament.

  • Catalan Modernism and Vexillology
    Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Sebastià Herreros i Agüí Abstract Modernism (Modern Style, Modernisme, or Art Nouveau) was an artistic and cultural movement which flourished in Europe roughly between 1880 and 1915. In Catalonia, because this era coincided with movements for autonomy and independence and the growth of a rich bourgeoisie, Modernism developed in a special way. Differing from the form in other countries, in Catalonia works in the Modern Style included many symbolic elements reflecting the Catalan nationalism of their creators. This paper, which follows Wladyslaw Serwatowski’s 20 ICV presentation on Antoni Gaudí as a vexillographer, studies other Modernist artists and their flag-related works. Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Josep Llimona, Miquel Blay, Alexandre de Riquer, Apel·les Mestres, Antoni Maria Gallissà, Joan Maragall, Josep Maria Jujol, Lluís Masriera, Lluís Millet, and others were masters in many artistic disciplines: Architecture, Sculpture, Jewelry, Poetry, Music, Sigillography, Bookplates, etc. and also, perhaps unconsciously, Vexillography. This paper highlights several flags and banners of unusual quality and national significance: Unió Catalanista, Sant Lluc, CADCI, Catalans d’Amèrica, Ripoll, Orfeó Català, Esbart Català de Dansaires, and some gonfalons and flags from choral groups and sometent (armed civil groups). New Banner, Basilica of the Monastery of Santa Maria de Ripoll Proceedings of the 24th International Congress of Vexillology, Washington, D.C., USA 1–5 August 2011 © 2011 North American Vexillological Association (www.nava.org) 506 Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Background At the 20th International Conference of Vexillology in Stockholm in 2003, Wladyslaw Serwatowski presented the paper “Was Antonio Gaudí i Cornet (1852–1936) a Vexillographer?” in which he analyzed the vexillological works of the Catalan architectural genius Gaudí.

  • Memory of the City – Layers of the City. Spanish Examples
    DOI: 10.4467/2353737XCT.16.180.5791 MATEUSZ GYURKOVICH* MEMORY OF THE CITY – LAYERS OF THE CITY. SPANISH EXAMPLES PAMIĘĆ MIASTA – WARSTWY MIASTA. PRZYKŁADY HISZPAŃSKIE Abstract Some cities have incessantly teemed with life for centuries, even for millennia. Currently, the oldest inhabited urban settlements are deemed to be those located in the Old World. Their contemporary layouts are very different to how they were originally, this is very often hidden in relics which attest to the older layers. Searching for such layers is a fascinating task. Sometimes, they can be found in the layout of public spaces, or in the architecture of historic buildings and complexes. Others remain deeply concealed underneath the surface of streets, squares, pavements, and parks. Most frequently, the exposure of larger parts of the remains of old architectural and urban structures is not easy due to the need to secure efficient functioning of the contemporary urban tissue. Architectural and archaeological reserves established especially in Europe, help to restore the lost memory of the city by exhibiting its historic layers. Keywords: city lifespan, urban tissue, archaeological and architectural reserve, excavations, museum Streszczenie Niektóre miasta nieprzerwanie tętnią życiem od wieków, nawet od tysiącleci. Obecnie za najstarsze wciąż zamieszkiwane miasta uważa się te położone w Starym Świecie. Ich współczesna struktura przestrzenna daleko odbiega od pierwotnych układów. Bardzo często ukrywa w sobie relikty świadczące o dawniejszych nawarstwieniach. Poszukiwanie tych warstw jest zajęciem fascynującym. Niekiedy można je odnaleźć w układzie przestrzeni publicznych czy w architekturze zabytkowych budynków i zespołów. Inne pozostają głęboko ukryte pod powierzchnią ulic, placów, chodników i parków. Najczęściej ekspozycja większych fragmentów pozostałości dawnych struktur architektoniczno-urbanistycznych nie jest łatwa ze względu na prawidłowe funkcjonowanie współczesnej tkanki miejskiej.

  • Petició Ciutadana Per a La Memòria Històrica I La Senyalització Dels Barris De Barraques De Barcelona
    Petició ciutadana per a la memòria històrica i la senyalització dels barris de barraques de Barcelona Antecedents Els últims grans nuclis de barraques de Barcelona es van enderrocar poc abans dels Jocs Olímpics. La ciutat girava full a un episodi de la seva història que havia durat un segle. El rastre dels llocs on hi havia les barraques s'ha esborrat. On hi havia Can Valero i altres nuclis de barraques de Montjuïc, hi ha el Palau Sant Jordi i el Jardí Botànic. On hi havia el Camp de la Bota hi ha el Fòrum. A la zona que ocupava el gran barri del Somorrostro hi ha el Port Olímpic i les platges de la Barceloneta i de la Nova Icària. On hi havia la Perona hi ha el parc de Sant Martí i s‟hi construeix la nova estació de l‟AVE de la Sagrera. Només en alguns indrets del Carmel i al turó de la Rovira hi queden vestigis de les barraques. Però la memòria no ha desaparegut en els milers de persones que van viure aquella realitat, en alguns casos durant molts anys. Ells i els seus familiars, habitants dels nous barris de la ciutat, són una part important de la ciutadania de Barcelona. Alguns han preferit oblidar uns anys difícils, però per molts aquella experiència forma part de la seva vida i també de la vida de la ciutat. Creuen que no s'ha d'oblidar el passat. Del juliol del 2008 a l‟abril del 2009, el Museu d‟Història de Barcelona va presentar l‟exposició “Barraques.
