Objectively according to the golden ratio, Barcelona is third in the ranking of the most beautiful cities in the world. You may wonder why it was awarded this title and what this method of valuation consists of.
Although there is no objective or unique definition of beauty, throughout history there have been different attempts to find it.
It seems that the closest theory to define it is the “golden ratio”. It is a formula that has been the obsession of artists and beauty lovers who for centuries have sought visual and aesthetic perfection.
This formula was applied in a study to analyze different cities around the world according to the golden ratio. It was then that the city of Barcelona ranked third among the most beautiful cities on the planet.

The study was advanced by the British mortgage consultancy Online Mortgage Advisor based on this formula for “calculating” the beauty of cities.
He proceeded to apply it to buildings in more than 45 cities around the world, in order to find out which had the most beautiful architecture.
According to the analysis, calculations and measurements, the study showed that the most beautiful city in the world is Venice in Italy, followed by Rome and in third place Barcelona.
Our city achieved an 81.9% “beauty score”.
In terms of buildings, the Hospital de Sant Pau in Barcelona achieved an almost perfect score of 93% above buildings in cities such as New York, Athens and Paris.
