With sweeping Mediterranean views and a unique combination of old European and modern values, Barcelona is Spain's second largest and most culturally central city. The cathedral of Sagrada Familia is one of Barcelona's most recognizable landmarks. Its eight spires and main nave represent the Gothic and Art Nouveau forms so popular during the time of its planning. The famed architect Antoni Gaudi endeavored to make this UNESCO World Heritage Site transformative for the viewer. Visitors can judge his success for themselves with one of several available tours of the building. The National Art Museum of Catalonia contains an extensive Romanesque art exhibit, as well as exhibits on Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque artwork from throughout the region. Visitors may find the building and grounds worth the visit, too, since the ornate Font Magica, which shoots plumes of backlit water at night, and the wide views of the city from the museum entrance are favorites even among locals. Likewise, the Barcelona beaches are a critical part of the city culture. Travel agencies and magazines consistently rate the urban beaches as the best in the world. With golden sands and excellent swimming, the beaches draw those who love sunbathing and the communal European spirit. The sandy stretches also offer stunning views of the Barcelona skyline.
