Barcelona, the capital of the Spanish Principality of Catalonia, one of 

 the lai'gest and most flourishing cities in Spain, is situated on the Mediter- 

 ranean Sea, between the mouths of the Llobregat and Bezas. With the 

 neighboring town, or rather suburb Barceloneta, it has over 10,000 houses, 

 and about 150,000 inhabitants, of which 10,000 belong to the above- 

 mentioned suburb. On the east side of the city is situated a strong citadel, 

 w^hich is connected with the Fort of San Carlos on the sea ; on the west 

 side rises up Montjuy, with a fort which commands the harbor. Among the 

 principal buildings are the great Cathedral, the ancient castle of the former 

 Counts of Barcelona, a large hospital for 3000 invalids, the Arsenal, the 

 Cannon Foundry, &c. There still remain, from the time of the Romans, 

 the ruins of a Temple of Hercules, and of some baths. The spacious, but 

 not sufficiently deep harbor, is protected by an extensive mole, at the end 

 of which is a lighthouse.
