Barcelona is the object of desire. She, in turn conquered by the Visigoths who make it their capital, and then by the Moors in 712. Charlemagne delivers 801.

The thirteenth to the fifteenth century, Barcelona's golden age. Economic prosperity is combined with the architectural and artistic creativity. A Catalan government is set up at this time. This autonomy is highly threatened in 1714, when Philip V seizes Barcelona during the War of Succession.

The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were marked by tremendous economic growth. Barcelona is modernizing and expanding. It doubles surface to house a growing population. The Catalan city also becomes important at European level. It hosts the World Expo in 1888 and the International Exhibition in 1929.

During the 1930s, Barcelona suffer many of the civil war. Gradually, she gets up and takes his extraordinary demographic and political growth.

Start with the central artery of Barcelona, ​​La Rambla, very touristy but very nice with animations, mime, statues and men, etc.

Take the metro at Liceu to reach Parc Güell, an architectural wonder of the famous architect Gaudi.

Children will love to walk in the carved arches and sit in one of the corners of the immense bank exuberant mosaics.

The highlight of the site, the houses seem to be gingerbread, sculptures candy, and straight out of a contemporary comics. A treat!

The day was full and rich culture. Take your kids romp in El Tibidabo, a permanent funfair! Program: ghost train, roller coasters and even bungee jumping ??

The next day, take the air Montjuïc Park but plan your route as this mountain, which dominates the south of Barcelona, ​​is immense.

Take the cable car to Parallel Metro Station, which leads directly to the gardens.

Continue on foot to get to the castle (there was another cable car but it is overpriced!).

The various guns and remnants of the Franco period exposed everywhere are sure to challenge your children.
Take a look at the Olympic Stadium and the huge promontory that was used to host the Olympic flame. But Stalinist architecture is a little bit unsettling, reflecting Barcelona.

Visit the Juan Miro Foundation whose visual and colorful art is accessible even to the youngest. If you are in Barcelona in the summer, end your visit with the pool Montjuic, above the funicular.

The third day is reserved for exploring the excellent Aquarium of Barcelona. You will feel like diving into the sea through a long glass tunnel 80 meters through the middle of animal and plant species varied.

The Explora space offers children fifty activities to discover the aquatic life.

Take time to stroll through the narrow streets of Barcelona, ​​such as the Gothic Quarter and Barceloneta (especially its beach in the evening). Avoid Raval neighborhood after dark, the area of ​​prostitutes and trafficking of all kinds.

One last tip: try putting your kids at Spanish time to enjoy the local life: 21h to dine, so plan hearty snacks.

Lifestyle Dolce Vita, their Mediterranean temperament, neat and slicked look to perfection, their culinary specialties are just some of the wealth today that the city invites you to discover more quickly ...

The history of Rome :

Legend has it that the city was founded by Romulus and Remus in 753 BC The twins, thrown into the turbulent waters of the Tiber, would have failed on the Palatine Hill. A wolf would have fed them and raised. As an adult, Romulus decided to create this same hill a new city.

From a more practical point of view, the traces of homes in this area date back to about the eighth century BC The Etruscans were living in small villages. This civilization flourished from the seventh century to the late sixth century BC and founded on Capitol Hill a real city.

The Roman Republic was proclaimed in -509. It extended his power throughout the territory of the peninsula through many wars. The general gained influence at the same time. This is how the first mythical figure appeared in the city: Julius Caesar. Refusing to yield to the Senate, he marched on Rome, crossed the Rubicon River - 49 and took power. He proclaimed himself dictator for life of the Republic. At his death (in - 44 BC), his nephew Octavian and his former lieutenant Mark Antony disputed the throne.

They end up agreeing with Lepidus and form a second triumvirate. In -31 after beating Marc Antony, Octavian prevailed as the head of the empire. The Senate recognizes him all authority and awarded him the title of Augustus (meaning "sacred"). Octave worked to unify the provinces which constituted a vast empire around the Mediterranean. His contribution was very important: it ended the civil wars, organized the administration of the Roman provinces and promoted artistic development in Rome.

Followed dozens of more or less authoritarian emperors, tyrannical Caligula, Nero and Domitian, the doers Vespasian, Titus, Trajan, Hadrian.

With the decline experienced by Rome from the third century AD, Christianity grows. Two facts will sit this religion in the peninsula: the Edict of Milan in 313, which allows the building of churches and religious practice, and the conversion of Emperor Constantine. From there, Christian worship is spreading and the church structure. The Bishop of Rome, the most important city of the Empire, by force of the highest things in the hierarchy. He was given the name of pope, Latin father.

The Popes have strongly contributed to the development and artistic enrichment of Rome. During the Renaissance, they entrusted the construction and decoration of churches to great artists. This is Sixtus IV that one must create the Sistine Chapel. Then Julius II commissioned Michelangelo to decorate the ceilings. Other influential popes, history remembers Pope Pius II, Clement, Sixtus V and Paul III.

And then again, Paris is a celebration. Paris swings. Paris on jazz. And the merry month of May in Paris: Sorbonne occupied, barricades, general strike. Paris surprised. Paris sings. "It's 5:00, Paris wakes up ..."
