La Cascada Monumental va ser construïda entre 1875 i 1888 amb un disseny general de Josep Fontserè, mentre que el projecte hidràulic va ser d'Antoni Gaudí. El conjunt arquitectònic presenta una estructura central en forma d'arc triomfal amb dos pavellons en els seus costats i dues ales laterals amb escalinates, que acullen un estany dividit en dos nivells. El monument destaca per la seva profusió escultòrica, en la qual van intervenir diversos dels millors escultors del moment: destaca el grup escultòric de ferro forjat La Quadriga de l'Aurora, de Rossend Nobas, així com El naixement de Venus, de Venanci Vallmitjana; el frontó és obra de Francesc Pagès i Serratosa. Altres escultures són: Amfítrite, de Josep Gamot; Neptú i Leda, de Manuel Fuxà; i Dànae, de Joan Flotats. Així mateix, Rafael Atché va realitzar els quatre grius que expulsen aigua per la boca, en la part inferior del monument.

This little grotto is easily overlooked. It's in one corner of the truly monumental fountain in Ciutadella park. The music for oboe, flute and guitar is number five in the Barcelona Fountain series.

BARCELONA WALK | Citadel Park incl. Waterfall and Boating Lake | Spain

A first-person perspective Barcelona walk tour of Citadel Park (Parc de la Ciutadella), a beautiful park with monumental waterfall, boating lake and Parliament of Catalonia building.

Experience all of the sights and sounds as Watched Walker (yes, I’m talking about myself in the third person) takes us on a walking tour through the streets of Barcelona, featuring a walk in Barcelona's Citadel Park (Parc de la Ciutadella). The tour begins outside the park's north-western entrance on Passeig de Pujades, then takes a gentle stroll through the park, finishing towards the southern end of the park by the entrance to Barcelona Zoo.

Sights seen along the tour include the Castle of the Three Dragons (Castell dels Tres Dragons), modern sculpture by Antoni Clave, tight-rope walker, boating lake, monumental waterfall (Cascada Monumental) built for the Universal Exposition in 1888 and designed by Fontsere, gold ‘Chariot of Aurora’ (‘Quadriga de l’Aurora') sculpture by Rossend Nobas, Mammoth (Mamut), sculpture ‘To the Catalan Volunteers’ (‘Als Voluntaris Catalans’) by Josep Clarà, Joan Fiveller Square (Plaça de Joan Fiveller), Parliament of Catalonia (Parlament de Catalunya), school (Institut Verdaguer), place of worship (Parroquia Castrense de la Ciutadella), equestrian statue of General Prim (Estàtua eqüestre del general Prim) by Lluís Puiggener, and entrance to Barcelona Zoo (Parc Zoològic de Barcelona).

And in each video I've hidden a blinking eye, can you spot it? (It could appear more than once). In addition to the blinking eye, I've also added the Watched Walker logo to various scenes–it could be on buildings, vehicles or any other objects, so keep an eye out for it too!

BARCELONA CIUTADELLA PARK HOSTS THIS 1888 LA CASCADA OR CASCADE FOUNTAIN BY JOSEP FONTSERE

Barcelona- Cascada monumental

Cascada Monumental

This monument and waterfall fountain found inside Parc de la Ciutadella was designed by Gaudi and features a golden statue of Aurora (who represents dawn in Roman mythology) riding four horses.

Below the golden statues Venus stands on top of her clam shell.

CASCADA MONUMENTAL

Momumento construído entre los años 1775 y 1888, y que tiene la particularidad de tener como autor al desarrollo hídrico a Gaudí. Un monumento que dejó espacio a la naturaleza, y accesible, ya que se puede recorrer por dentro, en medio de plantas exuberantes. Fotos propias de mi viaje

Things to do in BARCELONA - Exploring Gaudi, La Boqueria, Parc de la Ciutadella and MORE!

We had a great walking art tour of Barcelona. We explored La Boqueria, Cascada Monumental in Parc de la Ciutadella, Palau Guell, The Cathedral of Barcelona and the ruins of Born. Barcelona feels like a giant living piece of art and it is humbling to soak in the culture and history of this fantastic Spanish city. Hopefully, this video will give you some ideas of what to do in Barcelona.

360 video: Parc de la Ciutadella, Barcelona, Spain

Enjoy a nice day out in this huge city park that offers plenty of attractions. The park includes a lake, a zoo, the Parliament of Catalonia and the Museum of Natural Science consisting of a museum of zoology and a museum of geology. The most famous attraction of Park de la Ciutadella is the monumental waterfall called La Cascada. Located opposite to the lake, it was built for the 1888 Universal exhibition by the architect Josep Fontseré with a little help from Antoni Gaudí, who was still an unknown student at that time. The design is said to be loosely based on the Trevi fountain in Rome. You can row boats on the lake or wander around and admire the sculptures. The most significant piece of art is definitely the replica of Josep Llimona’s beautiful sculpture Desconsol“. Your kids will love to climb the large stone sculpture of mammoth, which can be found next to the waterfall.

Beautiful places of Barcelona 2017 Travel to Catalonia, Spain

1) The #Arc de #Triomf or #Arco de #Triunfo in #Spanish, is a triumphal arch in the city of #Barcelona in #Catalonia, #Spain. It was built, by architect Josep Vilaseca i Casanovas, as the main access gate for the 1888 Barcelona World Fair. The arch crosses over the wide central promenade of the Passeig de Lluís Companys, leading to the Ciutadella Park that now occupies the site of the world fair. It is located at the northern end of the promenade, facing the Passeig de Sant Joan.
The arch is built in reddish brickwork in the Neo-Mudéjar style. The front frieze contains the stone sculpture Barcelona rep les nacions (Catalan for Barcelona welcomes the nations) by Josep Reynés. The opposite frieze contains a stone carving entitled Recompensa (Recompense), a work from Josep Llimona's earliest period, representing the granting of awards to the participants in the World Exposition. The friezes along the sides of the arch include allegories of agriculture and industry by Antoni Vilanova and of trade and art by Torquat Tassó.
Similar structures can be found in many other cities, most notably including the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, the Wellington Arch in London, the Soldiers' and Sailors' Arch in New York City, and the Arcul de Triumf in Bucharest.
2) The #Parc de la #Ciutadella Citadel Park is a park on the northeastern edge of Ciutat Vella, Barcelona, Catalonia. For decades following its creation in the mid-19th century, this park was the city's only green space. The 70-acre (280,000 m2) grounds include the city zoo (once home to the albino gorilla Snowflake, who died in 2004), the Parliament of Catalonia, a small lake, museums, and a large fountain designed by Josep Fontserè (with possible contributions by the young Antoni Gaudí).
3) Citadel
Map of the military compound of Ciutadella
In 1714, during the War of the Spanish Succession, Barcelona was laid siege for 13 months by the army of Philip V of Spain. The city fell, and in order to maintain control over it, and to prevent the Catalans from rebelling as they had in the previous century, Philip V built the citadel of Barcelona, at that time the largest fortress in Europe.
A substantial part of the district it was constructed in (La Ribera) was destroyed to obtain the necessary space, leaving its inhabitants homeless. The fortress was characterized by having five corners, which gave the citadel defensive power, and by a rather wide surrounding margin, serving as location for the army's cannons. It included enough buildings to house 8,000 people.
Hundreds of Catalans were forced to work on the construction for three years, while the rest of the city provided financial backing for this and for warfare-related expenses as well, with a new tax named el cadestre. Three decades later a quarter was rebuilt around the fortress named Barceloneta, which is located inside the neighborhood Ciutat Vella.

4) #Cascada
Quadriga de l'Aurora on the top of the Font de la cascada
The #lake in the #Parc de la #Ciutadella
The Cascada (waterfall or cascade in Spanish) is located at the northern corner of the park opposite to the lake. It was first inaugurated in 1881 without sculptures or any meticulous details, and was thereby criticized by the press, after which this triumphal arch was thoroughly amended by the addition of a fountain and some minor attributes, which required six years of construction from 1882 to 1888, and was thenceforth put on display at the Universal Exhibition, and hitherto not been redesigned. It was erected by Josep Fontsére and to a small extent by Antoni Gaudí, who at that time was still an unknown student of architecture. Fontsére aimed to loosely make it bear resemblance to the Trevi Fountain of Rome. Two enormous pincers of gigantic crabs serve as stairs to access a small podium located in the centre of the monument. In front of it a sculpture (designed by Venanci Vallmitjana) of Venus standing on an open clam was placed. The whole cascade is divided in two levels. From the podium on a path leads to the Feminine Sculpture and to the northeastern corner of the park, and upon following the route down the stairs the fountain's pond is rounded and the southern tip of the artifact is reached.
