take shape through the lens of Meneghini’s camera. He high-
lights the city’s tension by inclining his camera 45 degrees and
subsequently straightening out the horizon and, in retouching his
images, he restores a sense of balance when at certain points

the words of the great writer, Andreu Martín, in his 1998 La
mujer del valiente (Barcelona 1949), when he describes “the
Barcelona of 1949” as “a black and white photo, a fixed, paral-
ysed and faded image, yellowish like the light bulbs that filled its
sad nights of restriction with shadows, a city resigned to black-
outs, to darkness”.

Duca takes the objects out of their original context and achieves

In particular, Duca’s position and shooting angle contribute to a

The Architectural Guides from the tried and trusted Reimer Verlag series are readable, clearly set out and in a handy format. For
all their brevity, the texts are informative and critical, a considerable achievement. These guides do not only line out the more or
less famous ensembles, places, and buildings but also lead the way to little-known treasures, details, inner courts and gardens. The
buildings are documented with informative texts, up-to-date photos, and ground plans. The layout according to tours of city dis-
tricts, maps, and detailed indices make orientation easy, even for strangers to the city.
