Where in the World (449)

Answer to edition 448

The style of architecture gives the impression that this archway should be located in somewhere like Agra or Mumbai. In fact it was built as the entrance gateway to the 1888 World Fair rather than as a triumphal archway. You will find it in Barcelona.

This week the distorted image for Where in the World (449) is a little unusual. It is a photograph of the city to be identified that is often featured. It is not high on the tourist trail but is a city associated with the site of a major disaster.
