Arc del Triomf, Barcelona

The capital of Spain’s Catalonia region, Barcelona serves as the country’s leading commercial and industrial city. Barcelona grew from a central area, once surrounded by walls, called the Barri Gòtic. Designed by Josép Vilaseca, the red brick Arc del Triomf lies to the east of the Barri Gòtic.
