The Architecture of Barcelona....with some sculpture thrown in....

Barcelona is not unique in the World for having some unique architecture.  It has a blend of the old and new....the classic and the trendy....here are just a few examples....

 and...


This is an old bull fighting arena that was closed a number of years ago and is now being turned into a shopping plaza....


and the Convention Center.....opened 2 years ago....


A number of random older buildings....





.... some of the newer structures of Barcelona...





and lastly the two tallest in Barcelona....


Almost forgot about the sculpture.  Why I do not know since it is everywhere....
take a look....the water fountain..



the fish....


The steel bars....the tallest is 40meters and weights 12 ton!!!


A little different....I can almost hear his saying...."....yeah, that is the bank ..stupid!"


and this if could talk...."I am telling you....I am going to fall off here...you better get out of the way....."


Okay....tomorrow is the F.C.B......
