History Legend attributes the Carthaginian foundation of Barcino to Amilcar Barca, father of Hannibal. Later on, Romans redrew the town as a castrum centered on the Mons Taber, a little hill nearby the contemporary city hall (Plaça de Sant Jaume). This planning is still visible today on the map of the historical center and the remaining fragments of the Roman walls. Important Roman remains are exposed under the Plaça del Rei, entrance by the city museum, Museu d'Història de la Ciutat. The city was conquered by the Visigoths in the 5th century, by the Arabs in the 8th century, reconquered in 801 by the Frankish kings, and sacked by Almansur in 985. Tourist attractions Barcelona offers a unique opportunity for the tourist on foot to walk from Roman remains to the medieval city to the modern city with its open thoroughfares with all intersections left wide open by the unique cut-off corners of the buildings. One notable feature is La Rambla, a pedestrian parkway that runs from the city center to the waterfront, crowded with people, bird sellers, street entertainers, and restaurants, but also of con artists (trileros) and smart pickpockets. La Rambla ends at the waterfront where there is a statue of Christopher Columbus pointing resolutely to the sea, that is, facing to the east to Majorca instead of to the west to the Americas. The historic city center is reasonably flat, but nowadays the city extends onto the surrounding hills and along the contiguous valleys of Llobregat and Besòs rivers. Catalan nationalists encouraged printing books in their native language with the side effect that Barcelona is now a European center of printing, particularly fine printing. The airport to the southwest of the city is named El Prat, after the nearby town El Prat de Llobregat. The architect Antoni Gaudí lived and worked in Barcelona, leaving many famous buildings including the Palau Güell, the Parc Güell, and the immense but still unfinished Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família, that has been under construction since 1882. Other artistic attractions include the Museu Joan Miró and a unique museum featuring only works by Pablo Picasso created while he was living in Spain as a child and young man and as an old man and nothing else. The Museu Marítim chronicles the history of life on the Mediterranean, including a full-scale model of a galley. Some other tourist attractions are the Tibidabo hill (with an amusement park at the top), the castle of Montjuïc, the mountain of Montserrat (a Benedictine abbey), the large Aquarium, and a Zoo that prides itself on owning the only white gorilla in the world.
