Spotify Camp Nou

This stadium was designed by architects Francisco Miarns Miro and Josep Soteras Mauri, with Lorenzo Garcia Barbón as a collaborator. It was built between 1955 and 1957, primarily using concrete and steel materials. Although the stadium's original official name was "Estadi del FC Barcelona" (Barcelona football club stadium), it was soon affectionately called "Camp Nou" (meaning "new stadium") to distinguish it from the club's old home at Les Corts. It was not until the 2000/2001 season, after a postal vote by club members, that "Camp Nou" was officially decided as the stadium's name. Of the 29,102 votes received by the club, 19,861 (68.25%) were in favor of Spotify Camp Nou, not Barcelona football club stadium. Spotify Camp Nou currently has a capacity of 99,354 spectators. However, due to multiple renovations, its total capacity has varied over the years. When Spotify Camp Nou first opened in 1957, it could accommodate 93,053 spectators, and its capacity was expanded to 120,000 in 1982. However, in the late 1990s, due to new regulations prohibiting standing areas, the stadium's capacity was sharply reduced to fewer than 99,000. In the 1998-99 season, UEFA recognized the services and facilities of Spotify Camp Nou, awarding it the five-star rating stadium title. In 2010, according to new UEFA regulations, the five-star rating stadium title was replaced by the new "category four" stadium title. Among the various facilities provided in the stadium, the church next to the changing room, VIP lounge, press room, multiple TV studios, sports medicine center, operations control unit (UCO), veterans area, Barcelona football club museum and offices of various club departments are particularly noteworthy.

Cathedral of Barcelona

The Cathedral of Barcelona is located in the Gothic Quarter of the old town, officially named the "Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia"—it is not Gaudí's Sagrada Família, but the true cathedral of Barcelona. The main structure was built between the late 13th and 15th centuries in the Catalan Gothic style, featuring a broad nave and a solid presence. The current facade and central tower, which form the frontage, were added in the early 20th century based on 15th-century original designs in the Neo-Gothic style, with a row of gargoyles along the cornice displaying varied poses, worth a closer look. The chapels in the cathedral cloister enshrine the patron saints of various craft guilds. The choir stalls, religious frescoes, sculptures, and exquisite gold and silver artifacts in the Santa Eulalia chapel are dazzlingly splendid.
