Barcelona and its History 

There is no clear idea of ​​the origins of Barcelona. There are two legends, one Roman and one Carthaginian, which accuse the founding of the founding of the foundation of Barcelona. 

Roman legend tells that it was founded by Hercules, who, joined Jason and the Argonauts, they are commissioned to look for the ninth boat in the fleet, which was lost during a storm. Finally they find the Nona Boat in the hills of a hill, which today is called Montjuic. Everyone liked the place very much, that’s why they decided to found a city they called Barcanona. 

The Carthaginian legend, attributes the foundation to Amílcar Barca, father of Aníbal, this in command of the Carthaginian army, during the Second Punic War, took the city in which at that time the Layetans (Iberians) lived. It is said that in the year 230 it was the new foundation, with the name of Barkenon or Barcelino. The name would come from Barca. When the Romans assaulted the peninsula they gave the city the name of Colonia Julia Augusta Paterna Faventia Barcino, in 218 a. C. 

Collserola Natural Park 

This park offers endless possibilities to enjoy nature and healthy life. A paradise for hikers, cyclists and runners. With more than 8,000 hectares, it is considered the largest metropolitan park in the country. 

Sant Cugat is the municipality with more surface ique is part of the Natural Park of the Collserola mountain range, at 44%. The reserves that partially limit the park are: Font Groga and Rierada-Can Balasc. 

Montjuï Mountain   

It is a mountain in the city of Barcelona, ​​measuring a total of 173 meters. Its name means ‘Mount of the Jews’, since, according to archaeological documents and vestiges, there was a Jewish cemetery in the past 

Although it is also believed that it could come from the ‘Mons lovis’ translation, this means Mount of Jupiter in Latin, a name mentioned in a Roman cartographic work. 

Guell park 

 The park has its name by Eusebi Güell, a rich businessman who loves Gaudí’s works, who acted as his main patron. Although the main idea was the construction of a luxury residential complex, over the years this idea was forgotten and instead a park worthy of the scene of a story was built. 

The park was opened in 1922, since then it has become one of the main tourist attractions of the city. In 1984 it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
