Overlooking Barcelona Cityscape and Looking Back at 500 Years of Barcelona Art History

Barcelona is definitely the city that impressed me the most during my trip to Spain. Life here is very comfortable, and coupled with the unique beauty of European art, it is really enjoyable. In addition to Gaudi's buildings, this museum on Montjuic is also worth visiting. But its appearance and its position in the city left a deep impression on me. The museum was formerly the exhibition hall of the World Expo: the National Palace. Built on Montjuic Mountain, you can overlook the entire city from the entrance of the museum. You can see the fountain square below and the scenery of Queen Maria Cristina Avenue at a glance Many free local residents and artists also gather here. When I arrived, a band was playing music at the entrance of the museum. It is so pleasant to feel the cool breeze, overlook the whole city and listen to cheerful music. So I prefer the periphery of the museum. Once inside, it is quiet and solemn. There are quite a lot of sculptures inside. It condenses 500 years of Catalan art works. If you like art, I highly recommend visiting here. The interior design here is also very unique, and the styles of different venues are completely different. If you want to visit seriously, you must rent an audio guide, otherwise it will be difficult to understand. The ticket to this art museum is free at certain times. If you just want to stroll around, you can choose to come at that time. For example, the first Sunday of every month is free all day, and every Saturday after 3 pm is also free! I just go there after 3pm on Saturday Even if you don't go in, it's very enjoyable to spend an hour sitting here leisurely.
