What I Miss Most About Abroad: 2) The Architecture

by Ceryna Baens

May 10, 2019

Number 2 in the Series: The Architecture. I'm actually surprised at the lack of footage of architecture in Barcelona. I think that during my field studies and the times I would play tourist, I was genuinely busy taking everything in. In my Barcelona and the Cosmopolitan City class, we learned a lot about the Catalan Gothic style of architecture throughout the city so I became a total nerd for architecture this semester because of it. I found myself constantly being in awe of everything around me.

Featured in this video: Barcelona, Spain; Tarragona, Spain; Girona, Spain; Granada, Spain; Budapest, Hungary; Howth, Ireland; Dublin, Ireland; Amalfi Coast, Italy; Florence, Italy; Rome, Italy.

We have arrived in Rome! Our apartment was about a five-minute walk to Vatican city and centrally located. Our first week started off by taking a guided tour of the biggest sites in the city such as the Spanish steps, the Pantheon, and the Trevi fountain.
