What are 5 of your favorite man-made monuments in Spain?

Question

Anything man-made. Including ruins or historic buildings.

Answer 1

It's actually a question of one's tastes....

I would pick

La Alhambra in Granada (not to be missed if you visit Spain)

El Teatro Romano in Merida (still used as a theater in summer)

El Real Sitio de Aranjuez (a royal palace in Aranjuez, near Madrid)

La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona (the as yet unfinished church, masterpiece of Gaudí)

Las Cuevas de Altamira... (the caves in Altamira, known for their prehistoric paintings)

But that is just a mere selection of the hundreds of monuments, buildings, castles, palaces and ancient ruins all worth seeing...

There are cities that are considered monumental as per se... Toledo, Santiago de Compostela, Seville, Salamanca, and many more....

I have lived in Spain for nearly 36 years, and still haven't seen everything worth visiting!

Answer 2

Giralda - Sevilla

Acueducto - Segovia

Alcázar - Segovia

Alhambra - Granada

Palacio Real - Madrid

Cero:  The asker only wanted five.  But you´re right...I don't think in terms of Sports, and I really am more interested in the older structures.

Answer 3

La Mesquita - Cordoba

Alhambra  -- Granada

Aqueduct  -- Segovia

Guggenheim -- Bilbao

Hanging Houses  -- Cuenca

Answer 4

I can only think of one in Barcelona.  The huge church with the different blends of periods that never stops in construction.

Answer 5

Spain is just great all over for the architectures?http://uk.images.search.yahoo.com/search...

Answer 6

I agree with Sue, but if she was from Spain then one of her buildings would have to either include the Santiago Bernabéu where Real Madrid play or the Camp Nou stadium where Barcelona play. These two places are amazing to be at whether there is a game on or not.

The Spanish think differently to that of the tourists.
