Barcelona Gothic Quarter Tour

Are you looking for a tour of the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona that allows you to know the city from its very center? The Gothic Quarter of Barcelona is located in the district of Ciutat Vella, the heart of Barcelona and the oldest part of the city. In addition, this neighborhood is considered one of the most beautiful areas of Barcelona and the first that visitors who are going to spend a few days in the capital of Catalonia should know.

Description of the experience

Medieval Barcelona was built on the remains of Roman Barcino and was the driving force behind the construction of the churches and palaces that remain to this day and that have given Barcelona its characteristic charm.

The streets of the Gothic Quarter are narrow and form a real labyrinth, so they are the ideal place to enjoy the city through a leisurely stroll on foot. It is possible to visit this area of the city alone, but the truth is that each of its walls and buildings hide magical stories of the culture of Catalonia that will be much easier to discover with a local guide.

On this route, the guide will focus on explaining all the secrets of the oldest district of the city. The story begins with the arrival of the Romans to the Catalan lands and continues with the moment when they decided to build one of the most important cities of the Empire: the great Barcino.

The nucleus of this Roman city became the area that, over the years, welcomed different cultures and raised some of the most emblematic buildings of the city on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Among these constructions are the houses in which the people lived, but also the government buildings and religious temples.
