Spain's largest port and second largest city， it is the country's principal industrial and commercial centre， as well as a major cultural and educational centre. It is said to have been founded in the 3rd century BC by the Carthaginians or the Phoenicians， and it was later ruled by the Romans and Visigoths. It was captured by the Moors c. AD 715， but it was retaken by the Franks under Charlemagne in 801 and made the capital of the Spanish March （Catalonia）. After Catalonia united with Aragon in 1137， Barcelona became a flourishing commercial centre and the rival of Italian ports. In the 19th century it was a cauldron for radical social movements and Catalan separatism. It was the loyalist capital in 1937–39 during the Spanish Civil War; its capture by Francisco Franco brought the collapse of Catalan resistance and Catalonia's reintegration into Spain. Modern Barcelona is known for its handsome architecture， including buildings by Antoni Gaudí. It hosted the 1992 Summer Olympic Games.
【作者簡介】 Damien SimonisDamien’s thoughts regularly drifted to other climes and other days， when he had lived in Cairo and Palermo teaching English， or hitch-hiked through Iraq when it was less dangerous to do so. Following a lead， he took a punt and managed to pry open the door to Lonely Planet in 1992， a move that changed the course of his life.Damien was born in Sydney， Australia. By the time he left those shores in 1989， he had also lived in Perth and Melbourne， picked up a BA （Hons） degree in modern European languages （other than his native English， he speaks Italian， Spanish， French， German and Catalan， along with a little broken Arabic and Portuguese） and worked as a reporter and copy editor for The Australian， The Age and the West Australian newspapers.
