42. Barcelona, Spain

Host of the 1888 Universal Exposition (World's Fair) for which many of the city's landmarks were built, including the Parc de la Ciutadella, Arc de Triomf and Columbus Monument. The Eiffel Tower was also intended for the fair, however Barcelona didn't want it, so it was left for the 1889 exposition in Paris.
