The documented history of the city dates back to the founding of a Roman colony on its soil in the second century B.C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Capital of Catalonia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a privileged position on the northeastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula and the shores of the Mediterranean, Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two official languages spoken in Barcelona: Catalan, generally spoken in all of Catalonia, and Castillian Spanish. The city of Barcelona has a population of 1.510.000, but this number spirals to more than 4.000.000 if the outlying areas are also included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Architecture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From&nbsp;<strong>Roman<\/strong>&nbsp;times to the&nbsp;<strong>Gothic<\/strong>&nbsp;period to the Catalan Art Nouveau, &#8220;<strong>modernisme<\/strong>,&#8221; Barcelona&#8217;s architecture naturally transmits the city&#8217;s rich history. It speaks for eras of varying prosperity and decline, for fervent Catalan nationalism or subjugation to the central government, for Expos, Olympic Games, Cultural Forums and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two most important styles of Barcelona architecture are Catalan&nbsp;Gothic, a medieval style, and&nbsp;Modernisme, a turn of the 20th century movement protagonized by&nbsp;Antoni Gaud\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from the Middle Ages and Barcelona&#8217;s turn of the 20th century &#8220;Renaixen\u00e7a&#8221; (Catalan Renaissance), it&#8217;s well worth mentioning the city&#8217;s ancient remains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safety and precaution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Barcelona is a <a href=\"https:\/\/ajuntament.barcelona.cat\/seguretatiprevencio\/en\/welcome-to-barcelona\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">safe, welcoming and open city<\/a>. We welcome visitors and offer them advice and information so that they can enjoy their stay. For people who live in Barcelona, being familiar with regulations on respectful behaviour will also help people to coexist better. For harmony between tourists and local people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep on eye on&nbsp;<strong>luggage, packages and personal belongings,<\/strong>&nbsp;especially at bus and trains stations or in waiting areas at stations and hotels. We recommend you identify any bulky items you have with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep your&nbsp;<strong>personal belongings such as documents, keys, money, credit cards and items off value<\/strong>&nbsp;(phones, cameras, etc) safe and don&#8217;t be careless with them, especially in busy or crowded places. It&#8217;s better to keep money, credit cards and documents in your inside front pockets or bags that close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When travelling on&nbsp;<strong>public transport,<\/strong>&nbsp;keep bags closed and in your sight at stop, on platforms and on buses or the metro. Avoid people knocking or bumping into you, as this could give them a chance to rob you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;<strong>open spaces, on terraces or at the beach,<\/strong>&nbsp;take care of your belongings, don&#8217;t leave them unattended and, if you have to go somewhere for a moment, ask someone you trust to keep an eye on them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Poblenou campus, located in the&nbsp;22@&nbsp;innovation district, is the communication campus of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra.
