| Description |
English: This view of Barcelona, Spain was captured in the early evening and the setting sun gave a warm colour to the city. Visible in the foreground is part of the port, with a cruise ship easily seen. Barcelona is a major centre in the Mediterranean Cruise scene.
Just visible on the far right of the picture are the towers of the Sagrada Familia which is a large unfinished Roman Catholic church. Work on it started in 1882 and continues. The current estimate for completion is sometime about 2027. It is the masterpiece of Antonio Gaudi, an outstanding architect, and there are several examples of his work in the city. In relation to the slow pace of construction, legend has it that Gaudi said "My client is not in a hurry" whilst looking to the sky. Sadly he was killed by a tram in 1926 but construction has continued, on and off, since. Looking to the skyline you can see Tibidabo mountain with, left to right, the communication tower known as the Torre de Collserola. It was designed by British architect Norman Foster (now Lord Foster). It's a narrow column, supported by guy wires. Surprisingly, perhaps, it's possible to take a lift up the column to a viewing platform 560 metres (1837 feet) above sea level, which gives outstanding views over the city. Lastly, a short way to the right of the tower, at the top of the mountain, is a lofty church - the Temple de Sagrat Cor, which was built in 1806. Just below the church is a small and quaint theme park, which itself is historical and also provides great views over the city.Español: (Traducción de Google ... )
Esta vista de Barcelona, España fue capturada en la tarde y el sol poniente le dio un color cálido a la ciudad. Visible en primer plano es parte del puerto, con un crucero fácilmente visto. Barcelona es un importante centro de la escena del Crucero Mediterráneo. Apenas a la derecha de la imagen se ven las torres de la Sagrada Familia, que es una gran iglesia católica sin terminar. El trabajo comenzó en 1882 y continúa. La estimación actual para la finalización es en algún momento alrededor de 2027. Es la obra maestra de Antonio Gaudí, un arquitecto destacado, y hay varios ejemplos de su trabajo en la ciudad. En relación con la lentitud de la construcción, la leyenda dice que Gaudi dijo "Mi cliente no tiene prisa" mientras mira al cielo. Lamentablemente fue asesinado por un tranvía en 1926, pero la construcción ha continuado, intermitentemente, desde entonces. Mirando al horizonte se puede ver la montaña del Tibidabo con, de izquierda a derecha, la torre de comunicación conocida como la Torre de Collserola. Fue diseñado por el arquitecto británico Norman Foster (ahora Lord Foster). Es una columna estrecha, apoyada por cables tipo. Sorprendentemente, tal vez, es posible subir la columna a una plataforma de observación a 560 metros (1837 pies) sobre el nivel del mar, que ofrece vistas excepcionales de la ciudad. Por último, un corto camino a la derecha de la torre, en la cima de la montaña, se encuentra una elevada iglesia, el Templo de Sagrat Cor, que fue construido en 1806. Justo debajo de la iglesia hay un pequeño y pintoresco parque temático, que a su vez es histórico y también proporciona excelentes vistas de la ciudad. |
