Barcelona

Not very far from the Picasso museum in Barcelona, we come across a city square (a rectangle, actually) with a massive arch at one end -- the Arco de Triunfo de Barcelona, which originally was built to serve as the main entrance for the 1888 World's Fair.


A close-up of the brick and tile work in the arch reveals an excellent bat.


The same arch, viewed from the other side.


There's something almost surreal about this building that borders the square
