If you come to Barcelona for three days, you can be relatively relaxed. Although Barcelona has many attractions, you are in a much better position than those who only have one or two days to see them. I will not reinvent the wheel and recommend to you what I advised others: first of all, you need to plan everything correctly, for which you should carefully read the articles published on this site - Barcelona 1 in a day, Barcelona in 2 days, Public transport in Barcelona, Excursion transport in Barcelona etc. Review the listed attractions as they contain a lot of useful information for you. Much depends on your financial and physical capabilities. Decide what you want to see in detail and what you want to see superficially, and how much time you want to spend shopping and eating.
It would be most logical if in the first two days you look at what is said in the article Barcelona in 2 days . Add to this what we are about to offer you.
Holy Mount Tibidabo:
Mount Tibidabo is the highest point in Barcelona. From here a wonderful panorama of the capital of Catalonia unfolds. This place is also mentioned in the Gospel of Matthew. Here is the "Temple of the Sacred Heart", on top of which you will see Jesus Christ with outstretched hands. Entrance to the temple is free. There is also the famous amusement park and the Fabry Observatory.
Citadel Park (Parc de la Ciutadella):
Citadel Park is very popular among both locals and tourists. Here you will see historical buildings, statues, a fountain, a triumphal arch, a zoo, etc.

Mountain and Monastery of Montserrat (Montserrat):
True, the mountain and monastery of Montserrat are located 50 kilometers from Barcelona, I highly recommend visiting this complex, built among the rocks, especially since getting there by transport is not difficult. Take the cable car, funicular, enjoy the magnificent views, see the sights, touch the Black Madonna. Believe me, you will have an indelible impression.

Hospital San Pau:
Hospital of the Holy Cross (as it was formerly called) has existed in the Raval area since 1401. Since 1930, it was moved to the Eixample district and its full name became Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau - Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau - the construction was financed by the Catalan banker Pau Gil , who wrote in his will that after his death Saint Paul should be added to his name. The complex of 27 buildings in the Art Nouveau style is a pearl of modern architecture and one of the main attractions of Barcelona. It was built in 1901-1930 according to the design of the famous architect Louis Domenic i Montaner (after his death, the work was completed by his son). The buildings are connected to each other by underground tunnels. In 2003, a new hospital was built north of the complex. The old one was restored, and since 2014 it has functioned as a cultural center and museum. It houses a unique archive that tells us the history of Catalonia and Barcelona over the past 600 years.
Hospital Sant Pau is a beautiful building with large arched windows, towers, statues, decorative ceramics and stained glass, flowers and tropical plants. With its beautiful interior and exterior, it looks more like a royal residence.
In 1997, the Saint-Pau Hospital was included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Agbar Tower (Torre Glòries):
This building in the style of abstract-symbolic expressionism and Franco-Spanish design was opened by the King of Spain himself in 2005. The height of the 34-story building (4 underground, 34 above-ground) is 142 meters. The shape of the tower is related to the nature of the water, as it houses the central office of the water company.
Each room of the tower is designed with a free layout, so no one will ever find symmetry in the arrangement of its windows - almost 4 thousand windows are located completely chaotically. The colorful transparent and translucent panels covering the building behave like a living organism - they open and close automatically, and when darkness falls, up to 16 million colors create incredible effects.
