Lonely Planet review for Universitat de Barcelona
Although a university was first set up on what is now La Rambla in the 16th century, the present, glorious mix of Romanesque, Gothic, Islamic and Mudéjar architecture is an eclectic caprice of the 19th century (built 1863–82). Wander into the main hall, up the grand staircase and around the various leafy cloisters. On the 1st floor, the main hall for big occasions is the Mudéjar-style Paranimfo. Take a stroll in the gardens out the back.
