I hope this is the correct film...
I might have just seen a film that simply isn't listed on IMDb or it might just be one that goes by another name. It's by the Spanish-born director Segundo de Chomón and clearly is NOT "Barcelona Park at TwilightBarcelona Park at Twilight", as I've seen this one and there is no twilight in this film and it has a variety of views of the beautiful city. It is probably "Barcelone, Principale Ville de la Catalogne" but it might also be "View of Barcelona and Surroundings"--two of his documentary style pieces about the town. If I am mistaken in attributing the film to this director or the name of the film, let me know. However, archive.org says it's a Chomón short.
The footage begins on the waterfront in Barcelona and the statue of Columbus standing on the pillar* is prominently featured. The film shows a variety of other footage--much of it from an exhibition that was held there in 1888. Additionally, it goes to the park and some of the footage appears to have been filmed from a boat!
To me this is a great little film because I have been to Barcelona. It's one of the greatest places I've ever visited and it was nice seeing some footage before the more modern construction. A nice look at a bygone era--though much of this is still there today.
*As an ex-history teacher, I should point out that no one knows that Columbus looked like. There are no paintings nor descriptions of the guy's appearance. So, when the pillar was erected for the 400th anniversary of his famous voyage, they just made it up--as do the history books.
