Barcelona, the city born 2,000 years ago on the shores of the Mediterranean, is today Europe’s most popular destination for corporate events and conferences.
This beautiful city has developed into a great metropolis since its foundation by the Carthaginians more than two thousand years ago. An open port on the Gulf of Lions, it has received Romans, Arabs and Christians, all of whom left their mark enriching the cities architecture and culture. Its impressive Gothic Quarter, built in part over the old Roman walls, bears witness to this.
The 1992 Olympic Games produced a vast improvement in the city’s infrastructure and services. No other European capital has undergone such an important transformation in recent years. There are new hotels, restaurants and shops to cater for the vast increase in tourism as well as beautiful squares and parks with impressive sculptures by Chillida, Serra, Oldenburg, Lichtenstein and Hunt Kelly.
