6 - Page 6 - A) Church of Sant Pere Nolasc There was a Vincentian monastery on the same spot where the present church stands. The present church was built between 1710 and 1746 in a Baroque style. The chapel was dedicated to St. Severus and St. Charles Borromeo. The church has a dome covered with a mosaic pattern of tiles, which is not common for Barcelona church architecture, and two bell towers at the entrance portico, the typical style of the Counter-Reformation churches of the period it was built. After reconstruction, Mercedarians took over the church, who renamed the building in homage of their founder, Barcelona's St. Pere Nolasc.

The church is actually located several miles outside Barcelona in a small town known as Tiana. The church has undergone various expansion projects which also led to the construction of a priory closer to the town. The construction of this priory was complete in In 1362, the nuns expanded the project further with the construction of a new priory immediately outside the walls of the city, which made it closer for the residents of Barcelona. This led to the amalgamation of the two priories and hence the number of nuns grew more and more over the years. During the renaissance period however, the church and its nuns suffered the same fate as many others devoted to the same cause and experienced a grave downfall. When the nuns refused to implement the new laws that were put forward, this resulted in the culmination of the cause that the church was built for. Along with this, women were banned from entering the Order. However, by the order of Pope Clement VIII this law was dissolved and made ineffective in Address: 13 Carrer Valldonzella, Barcelona, E-08001, Spain Image Courtesy of Flickr and Mary Hutchison - Page 6 -

I) Rambla de Raval (must see) Located in the Ciutat Vella district, El Raval is a famous neighbourhood in Barcelona. This area was also known as Barri Xines, or Chinatown. The famous La Rambla of Barcelona is bordered by two main, historically rich neighbourhoods; the first one is of course the El Raval while the second one is known as the Barri Gotic. Over 200,000 people reside in this particular neighbourhood alone. This area was known mostly for its active night life in the form of cabarets, crimes and even prostitution, but over the years it has changed a great deal. Because it is centrally located, it is now becoming one of the more significant attractions that the city has to offer. The neighbourhood is home to hundreds of immigrants including Indonesians, Romanians, Indians and Pakistanis as well as many more. Some of the prominent buildings and destinations in this neighbourhood are Placa Universitat, and Placa Catalunya located towards the north, then Ronda Sant Antoni and Ronda Sant Pau situated towards the west and southern edge of the neighbourhood. Also in the neighbourhood are the Monastery of Sant Pau del Camp, the famous MACBA and a well known cat statue created by Fernando Botero.

J) Carrer d'en Robador (must see) Carrer d'en Robador is a dark narrow street in the heart of La Rambla. It was famous for being Barcelona's Red Light District in the past. Nowadays, it is much more conservative, but nevertheless, has preserved the atmosphere. There are many bars on this street. Address: Carrer d'en Robador, Barcelona, Spain Image Courtesy of Flickr and Clarence - Page 10 -
11 - Page 11 - K) Sant Pau del Camp Sant Pau del Camp, commonly known as Saint Paul of the Countryside comprises an old church and an attached monastery in Barcelona. The monastery itself is so old that there are no accurate historical records that can confirm exactly when it was established, but experts are of the opinion that the monastery was formed in the ninth century. The monastery is located in the El Raval district of the city. The first complex stood in its original form till the year 985, when the edifice was attacked and almost destroyed by Muslim soldiers, forcing the monks to abandon it. Several years later, in 1096, the structure underwent restoration and new monks arrived to take charge of the order. Once again, it was attacked in In 1117, the monastery became the priory of Sant Cugat after which it underwent a second round of restorations. The building, as seen today, is adorned with scenes from the Bible, along with those of animal life, vegetable motifs, monsters and various scenes from life. The tympanum of the church has an image of Christ with Saint Paul and Saint Peter. The building has been declared a National Monument.

Special attention is paid to seasonal products, so the menu is changed every day.

12 - Page 12 - M) Tantarantana Theater Inaugurated in 1996, the Tantarantana Theatre is a rather small theatre in Barcelona, with a seating capacity of one hundred and fifty people. It is located in the El Raval area and can be reached by bus and metro. Initially the theatre was even smaller and could only accommodate seventy five people. The Tantarantana Theatre now consists of more seats as well as a larger stage. The theatre basically displays experimental plays and contemporary works. The plays performed here are well appreciated and usually sold out. Other attractions include entertainment for children in the form of puppet shows and pantomimes. These shows are usually scheduled for early evenings in order to accommodate children and their parents. Tickets can be booked in advance, and one may be able to purchase them by contacting the theatre. The Tantarantana Theatre is an interesting place to check out if one has an inclination towards contemporary and alternative theatre productions. It may not have been built at a large scale like certain other theatres in the city, but all the plays that are performed here exceed expectations and promise an enjoyable time. One can reach the theatre via local bus lines 24 and 91. The metro L1 and L2 also offer transport to this destination.
