The military government is situated at the end of the Ramblas after all the boulevards, just next to the marine stroll. He has the profile of a Greek and Roman building, because it has columns of that style, very high, and at the same time elegant. It is a building that you look at it the first time that you see it, because apart from being high, it has a different style from the buildings that are around it. The governor and his family of the military forces live there and there are also soldiers and offices. This building is placed in a very special area of Barcelona. It is near the Gothic Square, near the Sea, the old harbour, the Maremagnum and the Ramblas. It is lovely looking at all these places. And Colombo's statue is there too in the middle of the square.
