The Gothic quarter is one of the oldest and
most interesting parts of Barcelona. There are countless ancient
buildings to be found, which date back all the way to Roman
times. Every year tourists flock to Barrio Gótico
and it is still one of the most popular residential areas.
The small narrow winding streets as well as the many tapas
bars and cafes add a unique charm to this area of the city,
which guarantee a wonderful experience.
The roman gate on Plaça Nova is especially
worth mentioning. Here you will also come across the Palacio
de la Generalitat as well as the Palacio del Ayuntamiento
(Town Hall). Other interesting sites to see include Plaça
del Rei, Plaça Reial, the Gothic Cathedral as
well as the medieval palaces Casa dels Canonges, Pia Almoina
and Ardiaca.
