Magic Lantern slide circa 1900 hand coloured. Titled Cities and places of interest in the Mediterranean. 4 .—BARCELONA. Passing up the Mediterranean, we arrive at Barcelona, one. of the most important cities of Spain, as well as one of the most beautiful, and the capital of Catalonia. The superb situation of this romantic city, especially with regard to its port and harbour, .has caused it to develop an enormous maritime trade, and from it not only its own goods, but those of half the eastern side of Spain,are shipped to all parts of the world. The city itself is partly old-fashioned and partly modern; the quaint houses of the Middle Ages being found in strange juxtaposition with those of recent erection, and it possesses some grand squares in which are sold the fruits and flowers in which the neighbourhood abounds. The cathedral takes rank after that of Seville only , and the palace of the Archbishop, a splendid- pile, is second to none
