Description

Robert Hughes' Barcelona is a modern homage to a proud and cosmopolitan city, where artistic innovation and cultural identity converged. From its maritime past as the capital of Catalunya to its role in the Spanish Civil War, this book explores 2000 years of history.

The author takes readers on a journey through the city's most iconic landmarks, including Gaudí's Sagrada Família, the Gothic Quarter and the Eixample. Along the way, Hughes reveals the intricate social and cultural dynamics that shaped Barcelona into the vibrant city it is today.
