"Barcelona" was written for both the scholar and world-trotter (not that one who will pop in for a brief layover, though.) The art history chapters, specially those depicting the excessively ornamented Modernistic architecture, teem with ornate descriptions, yet Mr.
The text comes alive again for the ending sections on the late 1800s when Barcelona was the bomb throwing anarchy capital of the world leading into the development of the Art Nouveau/Modernista movement, although slowing a bit before finishing with a really excellent examination and comment of Gaudi, the person and his work.

 Chapter 17: A History of Aragon and Catalonia
The social history of Catalonia during this period underwent considerable changes in consequence of the revolution of the serfs and the rise to power of certain municipalities, the chief of which was, of course, Barcelona.
The chief characteristic of the constitutional history of this period is the struggle between the King and the nobles, and this was fought out in Aragon with greater vigour and with more definite results than in the neighbouring kingdom of Castile.

 Forum 2004
The Splendor of the Medieval Mediterranean is a large-scale exhibition that will be held in two centers: the Museum of the History of Catalonia and the Reials Drassanes ("Royal Shipyards"), which now house the Maritime Museum of Barcelona.
Barcelona is an exceptional point from which to approach the exhibition's subject matter given its links to other coastal cities and its role as the center of one of the most active kingdoms in the Mediterranean context for the centuries we are concerned with.
The exhibition draws attention to the contribution that cities and towns under the Crown of Aragon made to shaping Mediterranean history and identities, while at the same time highlighting the relationship between cultures, trade, politics and religion during the late Middle Ages.

The visitor unfamiliar with its history might be surprised that such a modern and enterprising city preserves its historic Gothic center almost intact, or by the curious contrast between the maze of narrow streets and the grid-like layout of the Eixample, the urban planning "Enlargement" project of the end of the 19th century.
