Arc de Triomf

Arc de Triomf

Passeig Luís Companys, s/n, Barcelona, Spain

 

This brick arch was designed in Mudejar style as the entry gate for the 1888 Expo by Josep Vilaseca. The coats-of-arms representing all the Spanish provinces were placed around it, with Barcelona's in the middle, in place of honour. On the sides of the arch are four statues of women symbolizing fame (who knows why). Other stone carvings represent other countries' participation in the Expo and Barcelona thanking them for their attendance. It is not as grand as the Paris version, perhaps, but still beautiful and worth a visit.
