Commissioned by Emperor Vespasian, the stadium could accommodate up to 50,000 spectators who came to view the gladiatorial battles that lasted up to 100 days! Adjacent is the Arc of Constantine which, dating from AD 315, is a forerunner to many other Triumphal Arches around the world.

The Museums contain an extraordinarily rich collection of precious arts, maps, sculptures and antiquities but surely the most breath-taking masterpiece is Michelangelo&#39;s frescoed ceiling in the Sistine Chapel. At the centre of the Vatican lies the vast Basilica of St. Paul, the world&rsquo;s largest church where the colourfully dressed Swiss Guard can be found. The present Cathedral is a beautiful mix of Renaissance and Baroque architecture, formed under the hands of masters such as Michelangelo. The stunning interior is an elaborate and detailed display of marble, mosaic, gilt and bronze.<br />&#x0D; <br />&#x0D; <em>Your tour includes express entry to the Vatican Museums, past the regular lines.

In the 6<sup>th</sup> century, the area was dominated by a Christian necropolis. The first monastery was raised here in the 11<sup>th</sup> century. In the 13<sup>th</sup> century it was a busy tradesmen&rsquo;s district and Passeig del Born was Barcelona&rsquo; s main square from the 13<sup>th</sup> to the 18<sup>th</sup> centuries. Jousting tournaments, executions and other public entertainments took place in the Middle Ages.<br />&#x0D; The Santa Mar&iacute;a del Mar church is one of the best examples of 14th century Catalonian Gothic architecture. It is the work of the architect Berenguer de Montagut and was the templeof the shipowners and merchants in Gothic Barcelona. Seen from the outside, its appearance is solid and robust, dominated by straight lines. The inside consists of three naves, an ambulatory and is without a transept. The amazing height of the central nave with its majestic octagonal columns stands out.<br />&#x0D; The&nbsp;Palau de la M&uacute;sica Catalana&nbsp;was built between 1905 and 1908 by the architect&nbsp;Llu&iacute;s Dom&egrave;nech i Montaner&nbsp;and it is an architectural jewel of Catalan Art Nouveau, the only concert venue in this style to be listed as a&nbsp;World Heritage Site by&nbsp;UNESCO&nbsp;(4th December 1997), which today represents an essential landmark in the cultural and social life of Catalonia.<br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; The Santa Caterina market building was constructed on the former site of the&nbsp;Convent of Santa Caterina, from which it takes its name.&nbsp;The refurbishment of Barcelona&rsquo;s first covered food market by the architectural practice of Enric Miralles and Benedetta Tagliabue was completed in 2005. The food market&nbsp;revealed a gleaming, undulating and brightly coloured roof designed to be seen from the air. The roof is attached to the building by a wooden structure, and a vast mosaic of coloured ceramic pieces, representing fruit and vegetables, boldly breaks with the traditional look of a market.<br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; The Picasso Museum in Barcelona is a clear example of the ties Pablo Picasso had with the city of Barcelona. Here, he not only received sound academic training but also the artistic effervescence that lit the fire and opened the doors towards modernism.<br />&#x0D; Inaugurated in 1963, the Picasso Museum not only owns the most important and exhaustive collection of the works of art from Pablo Picasso&#39;s youth and period of training but also holds temporary exhibitions of other artists related to this artistic figurehead.</span></span></p>&#x0D; &#x0D; <p></p>&#x0D;

Narrow streets, with quiet squares and attractive corners, are home to an abundant collection of Gothic buildings, both civil and religious. Surrounding Barcelona&#39;s impressive gothic Cathedral, medieval palaces emerge, such as Casa dels Canonges and Casa d&acute;Ardiaca. The Pla&ccedil;a del Rei brings together another labyrinth of marvellous buildings, such as the Palau Reial Mayor and the Chapel of Santa &Aacute;gata. The Pla&ccedil;a Sant Jaume holds the Palau de la Generalitat (headquarters of the Catalan government) and the City Hall.<br />&#x0D; <span>The oldest</span>&nbsp;<span>synagogue in Europe dating back to 1306 is in Barcelona. </span>The site of the older Call of Barcelona &ndash;the Call Major&ndash; is located between l&rsquo;Arc de Santamon, Call, Bisbe and Sant Sever Streets.

The adoration of this Virgin extended all over South America when the monk Bernat Boil accompanied Christopher Columbus to the New World. </font></p>&#x0D; &nbsp;&#x0D; &#x0D; <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">It is said that an image of the Virgen de Montserrat appeared in a cave in the mountain. Situated 45 kilometres Northwest of Barcelona, the monastery was founded by Abbot Oliba in 1025, although there is evidence that in the year 888, there was a chapel dedicated to the Mother of God. In the 12th century the Romanesque church was built and in 1223, the first European School for child singers. Leon XIII declared the Virgin of Montserrat patron saint of Catalunya. In the year 1500, San Ignacio de Loyola arrived as a pilgrim. The library has over 300,000 books. We have a choir school. There is a museum with paintings by artists such as El Greco, Picasso and Dal&iacute;. There are even treasures from ancient Egypt, amongst which one of the most outstanding treasures is a mummy. Montserrat lost most of its heritage during the Napoleonic Wars. However, since the Monastery was restored in 1844, the Museum has formed a valuable collection of artistic works. Private donations, from the artists themselves, and the sensitivity of the monks have made this possible. The Museum is divided into different sections organised in an instructive way. There are 13th century documents that prove that a choir school already existed in Montserrat. It was a religious and musical institution, made up by choir boys. </font></p>&#x0D;

Inside the walled enclosure of &quot;La For&ccedil;a Vella&quot; you can find the culiminating works of its historical destiny. One of the rivers, the Onyar, divides the historic centre from the modern city. </font></p>&#x0D; &nbsp;&#x0D; &#x0D; <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The old centre of this Catalan city preserves remains of its long history, from the time it was founded by the Romans in the 1st century B. C. To them we owe its original wall, whose remains stretch from the Archaeological Walk to the Wall Gardens. </font></p>&#x0D; &nbsp;&#x0D; &#x0D; <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Set in this walled enclosure (La For&ccedil;a Vella), stands the Cathedral. Its Romanesque origin is shown in its fortress-like appearance and strategic location, although the most outstanding aspect is an immense Gothic nave, the widest in Medieval European architecture. Inside, it preserves one of the textile jewels of Catalan Romanesque, the Creation Tapestry. </font></p>&#x0D; &nbsp;&#x0D; &#x0D; <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Girona has other key pieces of religious architecture, like the Benedictine monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants. The convent of Sant Dom&eacute;nech, built in Gothic style and a clear example of the importance of the religious orders in the colonisation and repopulation of Catalonia during the Middle Ages, stands amid gardens. </font></p>&#x0D; &nbsp;&#x0D; &#x0D; <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Also to this historical period belong important displays of Arab and Jewish art, the result of these cultures living side-by-side with Christianity for centuries. So, you will discover the multitude of small streets making up El Call, the Jewish quarter of Girona. Calle For&ccedil;a is the heart of this district, which had a synagogue and centres of cabbalistic study. The Call is currently one of the best preserved Jewish quarters in Spain.</font></p>&#x0D; &nbsp;&#x0D; &#x0D; <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">In the 12th century, Jews moved to a lower part of the city. In 1160 they were already inhabiting the Call, the name given to Jewish quarters in Catalonia. It is a name coming from Latin callis (street), which would become carrer in Catalan and calle in Spanish. In medieval times, call meant a &quot;group of narrow streets&quot;. These paved, narrow and labirynth streets constituted the urban space where most of the Jewish population in Girona settled in the 13th and 14th centuries. The community&#39;s main body was formed by tradesmen and craftsmen: tailors, shoemakers, weavers, barbers, furriers, blacksmiths, goldsmiths and silversmiths opened their workshops in the Call&acute;s narrow streets. Others devoted their time to medicine and astrology, while those who had the means became money-lenders. In Girona there is The Bonastruc &ccedil;a Porta Centre, located in the emblematic building that housed the last synagogue of Girona, is currently the home of the Museum of the History of the Jews and the Nahmanides Institute for Jewish studies.</font></p>&#x0D; &nbsp;&#x0D; &#x0D; <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Not far from here, a Capuchin convent houses the Arab Baths, where we should point out a pavilion built on eight fine columns and crowned by an octagonal cupola.</font></p>&#x0D;

The artist worked on it until his death. Work to complete this great church still continues today. The first architect to work on this project planned a Neogothic building. However, following his death, Gaud&iacute; took over, respecting the original layout of the work, but soon leaving the mark of his personality and way of doing things. He finished only the chapel of San Jos&eacute;, the crypt and the door of El Nacimiento. The fa&ccedil;ades and the entire exterior show extensive decorative elements in bright colours. La Pasi&oacute;n entrance has a cryptogram there.<br />&#x0D; <br />&#x0D; The Modernist Sant Pau Complex was built between 1905 and 1930 and designed by&nbsp;Llu&iacute;s Dom&egrave;nech i Montaner&nbsp;as a garden city for nursing the sick. After being used as a public hospital for a century, its newly refurbished pavilions shine again in all their splendour. A visit to this exceptional architectural ensemble is a unique experience. This is Europe&rsquo;s foremost art-nouveau complex and an icon among Barcelona&rsquo;s dazzling array of landmarks which embodies the city&rsquo;s innovative spirit. It was awarded World Heritage status by UNESCO in 1997 and now its architectural and artistic values have been brought to a wider audience with the new use of its pavilions.</span></span></span><br />&#x0D; <br />&#x0D; &nbsp;

Works by Gaud&iacute;, such Casa Mil&agrave; &ldquo;La Pedrera&rdquo;, Casa Batll&oacute; and the temple of the Sagrada Familia (the Holy Family); Casa Amatller of Josep Puig i Cadalfach and Casa Lle&oacute;-Morera of Llu&iacute;s Dom&egrave;nech I Montaner are just a few of the many modernist gems treasured by the city.<br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; Casa Mil&agrave;, better known as La Pedrera (Catalan for &ldquo;The Quarry&rdquo;), is a building designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaud&iacute;. It is located in the Eixample district of Barcelona. It was built for Roger Segimon de Mil&agrave;. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site &ldquo;Works of Antoni Gaud&iacute;&rdquo;. The building does not have any straight lines. Most people consider it magnificent and overwhelming; some say it is like waves of lava or a sand-dune. This building seems to break our understanding of conventional architecture. The most astonishing part is the roof with an almost lunar appearance and dreamlike landscape.<br />&#x0D; Casa Batll&oacute; building looks very remarkable, like everything Gaudi designed, only identifiable as Modernisme or Art Nouveau in the broadest sense. The ground floor, in particular, is rather astonishing with tracery, irregular oval windows and flowing sculpted stone work. It seems that the goal of the designer was to avoid straight lines completely. Much of the fa&ccedil;ade is decorated with a mosaic made of broken ceramic tiles (trencad&iacute;s) that starts in shades of golden orange moving into greenish blues. The roof is arched and was likened to the back of a dragon or dinosaur.<br />&#x0D; The Museu de Modernisme Catal&agrave; is housed in a centrally located modernista building designed by the architect Enric Sagnier.n The top floor of the MMCat showcases the furniture and decorative arts and has a room dedicated to Antoni Gaudi. The ground floor displays paintings, sculptures and stained glass.</span></span>

Most of these Jews were merchants from Morocco and Gibraltar. These were people with a cultural level greatly above average. They could read, speak and write in liturgical Hebrew, Arabic, English and Hakitia, the Moroccan judeo-hispanic dialect.</span></span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <span><span><span>We will continue our tour with a visit to the only </span></span></span><span><span><span>Synagogue of Lisbon (Shaar&eacute; Tikv&aacute;), passing by the Commerce Square, the place where thousands of Jews were forced to be baptized in the 15th century. </span></span></span></p>&#x0D;
