Barcelona has a balance of old, well-preserved buildings and new structures that blend well together. Some of the buildings date back to 1100 to 1200. The church that Antoni Gaudi started to build in 1883 is still under construction despite the fact there are no building plans or notes left behind. Outside of the town in Montserrat is the home to the Black Madonna carved from wood in the 12th century. Spain has a population of 46 million, but attracts 55 million tourists a year with over 20 million coming by way of ship.
