1. Plaça Catalunya: N 41° 23.163 E 002° 10.208
Plaça de Catalunya is a large square in central Barcelona that is generally considered to be both its city centre and the place where the old city and the 19th century-built Eixample meet. It is especially known for its fountains and statues, its proximity to some of Barcelona's most popular attractions, and for the flocks of pigeons that gather in the centre.

2. Museu de l'Eròtica: N 41° 22.931 E 002° 10.352
Located in front of the Mercat de la Boqueria, the Museum of Erotica, on Barcelona's Rambla, was set up with the clear purpose of providing an educational and recreational centre focusing on eroticism.

3. The Museu de Cera: N 41° 22.639 E 002° 10.633
The Wax Museum provides an opportunity to meet over 300 personalities, both real and fictitious, from all periods of history. Against a backdrop of authentic sets, audiovisuals and realistic sound effects, the waxworks come to life to tell us about their illustrious, and sometimes tragic lives which have crossed the threshold of time.

4. Monument a Colom: N 41° 22.544 E 002° 10.678
The 60 m (197 ft) tall monument to Christopher Columbus was constructed for the Exposición Universal de Barcelona (1888) in honor of Columbus' first voyage to the Americas.
