amaze with its priceless artistic heritage. Your tour will begin on board the Roma Express, a recently inaugurated train exclusively for

met by your guide upon arrival at San Pietro Station and will board a coach to take you to the Colosseum. Here you will explore one

of Rome's most evocative churches: the Basilica of San Clemente. This church is built on three levels and provides a cross-section of

destroyed by the Normans and rebuilt in 1108. Your tour will continue with a visit to the Church of San Pietro in Vincoli on the

Oppian Hill. It was built in the fifth century by Eudoxia, the wife of the emperor Valentinian III, with the purpose of housing the chains

that bound Saint Peter during his imprisonment in Jerusalem. Inside you will also be able to admire Michelangelo's magnificent

sculpture, universally known as Moses. A short stroll will take you to two symbols of the city: the Colosseum, the famous arena of the

gladiators, and the Roman Forum, once the political and commercial centre of Rome. Following a lunch of local specialities, your tour

have made one of the most visited architectural masterpieces in the world.

clothing (no shorts or tank tops) during the visit to holy places. Space is limited, so please reserve early. This excursion is only

The first destination on the excursion will be La Sagrada Familia, icon and symbol of the city of Barcelona and a landmark for visitors

from all over the world, often considered to be one of the most extraordinary monuments ever constructed by man. It is an imposing

neo-Gothic church, designed using the great medieval cathedrals as models of reference, and constructed in a modernist style (the

Catalan version of Art Nouveau). The project and its realisation was entrusted to renowned architect Antoni Gaud (just over thirty

years of age at the time), who worked on it for the rest of his life. Having begun in 1882, work still continues today following the

plans laid down by its designer: the fact that you'll be able to watch one of the masterpieces of world architecture being constructed

before your very eyes will make your visit even more fascinating. Your guide will show you the two completed facades (the Nativity

and the Passion facades) and will then lead you inside the church where expert craftsmen continue to work on a masterpiece in

constant evolution. Next it's on to Park Guell, another of genius Gaudi's incomplete works: conceived at the beginning of the 1900'sas a futuristic residential district, at the time the project failed to achieve the success that had been hoped for and work was

interrupted. Yet Gaudi had fortunately already begun work on an inimitable project, with its wide winding pathways, benches and

sculptures with multicoloured mosaics in pure modernist style. Your visit will conclude with a trip to Casa Mila, better known as "La

Pedrera" ("the quarry"): this building undeniably represents Gaudi's most mature work and is distinctive for its myriad of revolutionary

and visionary details, true testament to his extraordinary creativity.


INFORMATIONS

Barcelona's historical and cultural traditions, its monuments and mild climate make it one of the liveliest and most attractive cities in

Spain. The tour first climbs Montjuic Hill, featuring lush gardens and beautiful views of the city. Crossing the town centre and drivingalong the main roads, you will head for the northern part of the city. There, in addition to the Avenida de la Diagonal, is the

according to Antonio Gaudi's plans and still under construction today. You will then continue to the Barrio Gotico (Gothic Quarter)

which boasts the Cathedral, a masterpiece of Catalan Gothic architecture. To conclude, we'll visit Parque Gell, designed by Gaudi.

This is not only a park but was to be a housing complex with which the Catalonian architect intended to inspire a new style of town

planning.

Please note: In the event of religious celebrations the visit of the cathedral will be an external view only.

This trip will take you to the highly original Guell Park. Gaud initially envisaged this area as a large English-style park, but successively

its creation was largely entrusted to one of his disciples, Josep Maria Jujol. Its undulating benches covered in ceramic fragments of

many shapes and colours are fascinating objects, whose numerous details and shades will certainly catch your eye. You will have

time to stroll along the paths of this marvellous park, before boarding your coach for the short trip to "Eixample" district, where the

famous "Sagrada Familia" (outside visit only) cathedral is situated. A local guide will give you a detailed commentary of the details of

the faade. Finally, you will have some free time, as many of you will certainly be tempted to do some shopping. Your next stop will

be Casa Mila, better known as "La Pedrera" (The Stone Quarry), which certainly represents Gaud's most mature work. No other

building could better represent Modernism. This was the last residential building to be designed by Gaud and was built between

1906 and 1912. It is characterised by a myriad of revolutionary details, which testify to the artist's creativity and extraordinary

technical mastery. The next masterpiece on your itinerary is Casa Batllo, a residential building that exudes dreamlike atmosphere.You will be able to admire its faade, which is completely covered in a multicoloured mosaic of shiny scales. The same technique has

been used for the roof. The suggestive faade recalls the legend of Saint George and his fight with the dragon: according to this

reading, the cross can be interpreted as the tail of the dragon and the row of balconies as the bones of its victims. On your way back

to the ship you will cross the commercial heart of the old city and of Barcelona itself - the famous Plaza de Catalunya - and the

harbour area.
