Barcelona Photo Gallery - Columbus Monument and the Port:
Visit the Monument to Columbus outside the port - built by Cayetano Buigas and opened in 1888.  It is possible to take an elevator to the top for the magnificent views (beware if you are claustrophic like me as this is a very small space - a Spanish lady who shared the elevator with me said that she would rather be in the lift in El Corte Ingles (popular department store)!)  Well worth the ride though for the views.
The Port itself is an interesting visit with cruise ships to view (Barcelona is one of the busiest cruise ports in the Mediterranean), also ferries to the Balearics and local cruise boats.  There is also a heliport where you can take a helicopter tour of Barcelona.
