Architecture in Spain

Thinking about our new challenge prompted me to share some shots I took in Spain last year.  I was surprised at the amount of Roman influence still visible.  But then again, I guess the Holy Roman Empire stretched a long way.  Driving south of Sitges, we pulled off on a little roadside rest, and stumbled across this ancient Popup LinkAquaduct that was built by the Romans. You could actually go up and Popup LinkWalk on it, so we did.  Farther south in Terregona, there are remains of a Popup LinkCosiseum also built by the Romans.  It isn't as big as the one in Rome, but it does have a nicer view!  

One of the highlights of Spain for me was Popup LinkTraveling up the Popup LinkMountains to the Popup LinkMonestir de Montserrat 9'th century.  It is on the highest point in Spain (4,055 ft.) and you can see Popup LinkThe View of Barcelona in the distance.
The Popup LinkWaterfront in Gerona gives you an idea of their urban housing.  I will end this tour with a glimpse of Popup LinkSalvadore Dali's Museum in Figures.  The Popup LinkUpside Down Boat in front of the museum's sphere was a nice whimsical touch!  Hope you enjoyed this little tour!
