The Arc del Triomf in Barcelona is quite different from its famous namesake in Paris. Catalan version is half its size (30 metres) and was built more than 80 years later (in 1888). Still, the monument looks magnificent in its Neo-Mudéjar style. Barcelona’s Arc de Triomf has no military connotation. It was an entrance to the Barcelona Universal Exposition in Ciutadella Park. Various Catalan artists decorated the arch’s sides with sculptures. Come and admire those masterpieces for yourself!
