 | Barcelona Arc de Triumf Reviews | 1 - 10 of 73 |  |
I took the metro to Tetuan and walked from there to the Arc and on to Ciutadella Park. A really beautiful walk. Follow Av. Sant Joan which is a broad avenue with some good lunchrooms/restaurants and shops if you like.
Seeing the Arc come into view felt like being on Paris' Champs-Elysees!
What a great work of art.
The frieze was sculpted by Joseph Reynes (1897) and Josep Llimona I Bruguera (1891).
The beauty goes on beyond the Arc. A peaceful stretch of pedestrian road onto Ciutadella Park. One line of beauty, with plenty of benches to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
So serene, and still Barcelona!

This Triumphal arch is an archway structure built by the Universal Exhibition of 1888 as its main gate. It has some pieces of sculptures as the one in the front, named "Barcelona welcomes the nations" and the coat of arms of the other 49 Spanish provinces. It's located at the end of the Lluis Companys promenade which link this monument with the Citadel Park.

I haven't been to Paris yet, so for me this is the first Arc of Triumph. Originally not in the plan, but while waiting for our bus to depart we decided to go and explore more of Eixample.

 Arc de Triomf by easyoar
Towards the top of the arch, there are some white friezes one of which is supposed to represent Barcelona welcoming foreign visitors.
Behind the arch, there is a long walkway, which if you follow it down ends up in a large park (the Parc de la Ciutadella). Leave a Comment Directions: Barri Gotic Metro: Arc de Triomf.

 The Arc de Triomf is quite
impressive. by seamandrew
According to my guidebook, the Arc de Triomf was designed by Josep Vilaseca, and the arch includes sculptures by Josep Llimona, among others. It is easy to imagine visitors passing under the arch into the promenade leading to the Parc de la Ciutadella. Leave a Comment Directions: Barri Gotic Metro: Arc de Triomf.
