Message from Kristin and David Neusel

The Arc de Triomf, built in 1888 for the Universal Exposition, is one of Barcelona’s most striking landmarks. Located at the entrance to Ciutadella Park, this majestic arch stands out for its reddish brick construction and intricate detailing, including sculptures that represent various regions of Spain. Unlike the more classical arches in Europe, the Arc de Triomf features a unique combination of neo-Mudejar and modernist styles, reflecting the cultural diversity of the city. The arch is not only a historical monument but also a popular gathering spot for locals and tourists, offering a grand perspective along the wide avenue that leads to the park. Whether admired for its architecture or as part of the scenic promenade, the Arc de Triomf is a must-see for anyone visiting Barcelona.
