Barcelona, Spain is a beautiful town on the Mediterranean coast between the mouths of two rivers. This is the second largest city in Spain and capital of Catalonia. Barcelona is a major tourist destination because of its rich cultural heritage and major airports.

Barcelona's history seems to depend on who you ask. A legend says Hercules founded the city 400 years before Rome was built. Later, the city was rebuilt by the father of Hannibal, whose name was Hamilcar Barca. He named the city Barcino after his family, and the name was changed later in Barcelona.

Whatever the true history of Barcelona may be, there are actually remnants of ancient Roman culture in the current Barcelona. For example, if you visit the Placa del Rei, a museum, you'll see the remains of ancient structures there. In addition, pieces of ancient Roman walls are built in the Cathedral, La Seu.
