Somehow, our visits to Barcelona have never taken us to Montjuic, a great hill overlooking much of the city, which includes the National Museum of Catalan Art, numerous other museums, gardens, the Olympic stadium, and much more. We began trying to make up for this lapse with two days of visits, mostly at the national museum.
 |
| Plaza de Espanya |
 |
| Towers at the head of the boulevard leading up the hill |
 |
| Nearby coliseum |
 |
Looking up the hill, the imposing building is the MNAC, the
Museu Nacional d'Art Catalunya; really imposing |
 |
| Looking back; escalators climb the hill all the way to museum |
 |
| A favorite image of Barcelona |
 |
| Pano |
 |
| On our second day we took in the Caixa Forum |
 |
| And its former Modernista factory |
 |
| Undulating rooftop |
 |
| Very thin curving bricks... |
 |
| Helpful model #13,458 |
 |
| Fountain now on |
 |
Impressive place, only the surface of which we scratched; we'll be
back |

We saw the fountains playing at night one night we were there--just gorgeous!
