A triumphal arch usually memorializes military success. In Barcelona, the Arc de Triomf was designed in a Neo-Mudéja style by Josep Vilaseca i Casanovas as the grand entrance to the 1888 Universal Exposition of Barcelona. The World’s Fair was held at Parc de la Ciutadella. This city park contains several historical structures and museums, a lake, the zoo, an elaborate fountain and plenty of greenspace within 70 acres. Citadel Park was designed by Josep Fontsère and opened in 1877.
