curatorsim의 문화유산답사 - 바르셀로나 람브라스거리와 콜럼버스상

우리나라로 치자면 명동 비스무리한 느낌이 나는 바르셀로나 람브라스 거리입니다. 다양한 거리공연, 시원한 노천까페, 여러 인물들의 동상 들이 기억에 남더군요. 현지인들도 굉장히 즐겨찾는 곳이랍니다. 끄트머리쯤 가면 콜럼버스가 꼭대기에 앉아있는 기둥이 보이는데, 바르셀로나사람들은 콜럼버스가 바로셀로나에서 출발했다는 설을 믿는다는군요. 당연하게도 ㅋ 다음은 위키백과사전 내용입니다. La Rambla can be considered a series of shorter streets, each differently named, hence the plural form Las Ramblas. From the Plaça de Catalunya toward the harbour, the street is successively called the Rambla de Canaletes, the Rambla dels Estudis, the Rambla de Sant Josep, the Rambla dels Caputxins, and the Rambla de Santa Monica. Construction of the Maremàgnum in the early 1990s resulted in a continuation of La Rambla on a wooden walkway into the harbour, the Rambla de Mar. Nearby is the Maritime Museum (Museu Maritim), specifically devoted to naval history in the Mediterranean, which displays a full-scale replica of an ancient galley battle. The museum is housed in the Royal Dockyards (in Catalan, Drassanes) of the medieval era where the ships that connected the extensive dominions of the Crown of Aragon with other ports of the Mediterranean were built. The old port offers other attractions such as leisure venues, restaurants, an IMAX theater, and an aquarium. In the historical center, close to La Rambla, you can find La Catedral de Barcelona (Cathedral of Santa Eulalia), a well-known cathedral amongst the locals, Plaza Sant Jaume that houses the buildings of the Generalitat of Catalonia and Barcelona's City Council, as well as the narrow streets of the Gothic quarter, the Raval and the Born area. The promenade is crowded during the day and until late in the night. It is full of kiosks that sell newspapers and souvenirs, flowers and birds, street performers, cafes, restaurants and shops. Near the port are found smaller local markets and the shop-fronts of painters and draftsmen. Strolling along La Rambla you can see several historic buildings like the Palace of the Virreina and La Boqueria market and the famous Liceo Theatre (in Catalan, Liceu), in which operas and ballets are staged. One of the side streets, which is only a few meters long, leads to the Royal Square (Plaça Reial), a plaza with palm trees and porticoed buildings containing many pubs and restaurants, and in which stamp and coin collectors gather on the weekends. La Rambla can be crowded, especially during the height of the tourist season. Most of the time there are many more tourists than locals occupying the Rambla, which fact has changed the shopping selection, as well as the character of the street in general.[1] For this reason also it has become a prime target of pick pockets.[2] The Spanish poet Federico García Lorca once said that La Rambla was 'the only street in the world which I wish would never end'. The name rambla refers to an intermittent water course in both Catalan and Spanish. This is reflected in the undulating design on the pavement which is also decorated with a mosaic by Miro. This work was the second of three sculptures that were commissioned to welcome tourists.[3] The first was at the airport and had been commissioned in 1968. The other was Dona i Ocell in the centre of the city
