The Arc de Triomf

Every city has one, just not as elaborate or ornate as Barcelona's Arc de Triomf.


I really did not read up on this location or the significance of the Arc or the piazza where it resides, but it is right next to the government regional headquarters so my guess is it has a lot of meaning.

 It is a beautifully designed and constructed monument in 1888 for an exhibition in a very clean park. The park lamps are very ornate and look like they are early Art Deco in design, very flowery and ornate.
 


The Wikipedia page is :Barcelona Arc de Triomf

I like the pictures of the Arc and the Piazza. I hope you do too.
