I believe it's called 'Montjuïc' and the palace is 'Palau Sant Jordí'.
On the Vatican- It's great that you enjoyed it
. Personally; while Peter's church is just... amazing.. and having had a passing interest in the Renaissance arts there was alot for me to
over... I find it a dead place. Lots of history and special vibes, but like a monestary with a tourist pulze
. Me and my friend went their for half a day and hurried back to Rome itself
. But there are some spectacular things to see for sure.
Thanks for the name, and yes, I am pretty sure that was the name of the moutain. I remember going top of the mountain, where you have this medieval castle, and it is really good for site seeing. It was really nice to see the overview of Barcelona city.
Talking about Rome, it is simply the best city in the world!
. It was my first family visit to the Rome, when I fell in love with Italy. The old Roman roads, with plenty of taxis which you often see in some romantic movies, and great standing oblisque wherever you go. It was quite strage to see Egytion momument in Roma
.
Due to my lack of respect and interest in History, I did not appreciate the "Roman Ruins" or the "Canal, or sewage system". However, I was astonished by "Pantheon", and the night vision of "Trevi fountain" with its beutiful yellow lights. Spanish Square, and its stairs, in particular, also made some impression on me.
.
Furthermore, I found out they are made Autobikes in Roma, so no wonder why you guys are so good at racing, and Valentino Rossi, in particular!
.
Oh yes, the food, it was simply the best. Although I am culturally to ignorant to know which food I ate.
. However, i was disappointed with Italian Pizza though, I was thinking it would be similar to Pizza Hut.
.
Lastly and not least, Vatican Museum. I remember the guide was saying how arrogant Michaelangelo was, and judging from his paintings, I think he deserved to be a little bit arrogant.
.
A work of a True genieus! The painting looked phenomenal (having said that I have virtually no knowledge in Painting), and to hear that he created such a masterpiece with very dim enviroment was indeed very shocking. I read that his original picture of Jesus rising from dead, had no pants on so later people drew white cloth to hid Jesus's secret place.
and it amused me very much while I was looking at the picture.
.
Ah, talking about Vatican, nothing impressed me more than its interior. Filled with marvelous paintings of Rafael, Michaelangelo, and other famous people, and their sculptures, the interior made up of beutiful marvel just simply excelled. It was just wonderful and kind of things you would only see in Walt Disney Animation or in "Versaille Palace".
The statue of Paul and Peter at the front of St Peter's Cathedral was awesome as well.
By the Glen, are you Italian?
Ciao, (I burrowd it off you.
