One can walk around the roof of the Palau Nacional, in which the MNAC is located, something that escaped us in 2017. We were too busy doing the great art within. But the views of Barcelona from Mont Juic are worth seeing.

En route from Placa Espanya, the Arena, a former bullfighting ring,
now a shopping center with 100 shops...sic transit, Gloria |
 |
From the steps (after many escalators) of the Palau Nacional;
the pigeon wasn't there in 2017 |
 |
Now on the roof, looking to the sea; the building
on the left is the Mapfre building, where we had
our Peking duck dinner (important historical note) |
 |
| Olympic stadium |
 |
Interesting cell tower; actually a sculpture,
Vicki informs me, of the Hand of God, from one
of the Romanesque frescoes
|
 |
| Central Barcelona |
 |
| Peering down into the palace arena, where we'd later have lunch |
 |
| Central dome |
 |
| More of the great city, including its new major landmark |
 |
| Largest indoor lunch venue for us ever, so far |
