«Barcelona: Mil años de historia» is the historical essay by Felipe Fernández-Armesto, published by Ediciones Península in paperback (320 pages).
The author examines the evolution of Barcelona from its Roman traces to the current Mediterranean metropolis. He discusses the medieval city, the Renaissance, the industrial era and the impetus of the 1992 Olympic Games, without idealizing the city: he attends to its defeats, its crises, its difficult relationship with the sea and an artistic and architectural heritage in which Gaudí is one of the expressions.
Translation by María Luz García de la Hoz. Belongs to the Atalaya collection.
A work for those interested in urban history and in the keys to Barcelona's past and its heritage.
