NOTES: The competition for the construction of this new terminus to replace the old central station (1864) was won in 1912 by architect Ulisse Stacchini. Construction proceeded very slowly after World War I and the project kept changing and becoming more complex. Mussolini, on becoming Prime Minister, wanted the station to represent the power of the Fascist regime, hence its monumental proportions. The station was inaugurated in 1931.

NOTES: The museum commemorating the life and work of the artist Joan Miro was designed by Rafaello Moneo and opened in 1992. It incorporates Miro's house and studio, designed by his friend, the architect Josep Lluis Sert in 1955.
