Some sort of palace and the statue of Columbus pointing. 
A statue overlooking the city at the National Art Museum. 
A bullfighting stadium they are turning into a shopping mall.
Casa Batllo by Antoni Gaudi [a very famous architect who has work all over the city]. This house is designed to look like the skin of a dragon. It is very beautiful.
Here is another one of Gaudi´s works. It is the most beautiful church I have ever seen. Construction began in the 1880's and they don't think it will be done until 2050 or so. Gaudi finished one side, but after his death the plans for the other side were destroyed in a fire. The other side of the church is being designed and built by a (?) Japanese architect--it is called the modern side.
This is a market we went to visit. Here you can buy fresh seafood, bread, fruit, vegetables, nuts, sweets...anything you can imagine. It was extrememly croweded.
Dried fruit and nuts at the market. All of the displays were so colorful and pretty...except for the fish, they just smelt bad.
On our last day in Barcelona we also visited the Olypmic Statuim of 1992. Here you can see part of the stands, the large clock on one side, and the holder for the olympic flame!
