Barcelona - Arc De Triomphe
Posted by admin in Barcelona on 08 28th, 2006 | Read Comments(1)Don’t confuse this with the Arc De Triumph in Paris (see here ) – the Arc De Triomph in Barclona is just as great as the one in Paris…well – I must admit – loving Barclona as the most appealing city in Europe – even more.
It was built in 1691 and this monument is one of several built to glorify the spain monarchy. The carved medallions, dating from 1773, celebrate the achievements of king Louis XIV of France.
There’s a small door under the vaulted archway provides access to the interior of the monument with a staircase winding up to the rooftop – too bad I haven’t been in there at night… that’s a plan for my 3rd time in Barcelona then 
These are two pics I took in December at night, of course with tripod… and it was cOOOLd…
Yahoo has a bit more on it and this guy here was in Barcelona too
