| Abstract: | In this study the authors research the connection between monuments, capital city status, and tourism marketing. The authors study two different periods of monument development in Barcelona. The periods of 1888-1929 and 1982-present are studied to examine the aforementioned relationship. The findings conclude that while there is some recognized variances in the scope of, and rationale for, monumentality, the findings show that in both eras, attempts to monumentalise the city has helped political and tourism ambitions. |
