Barrio Gotico - The oldest district of Barcelona

Barrio Gotico.jpgHave you booked an Barcelona apartment or a Barcelona Hotel located in Barrio Gotico? Then there is a lot to explore for you. The official Barcelona Website has prepared a Barrio Gotico itinerary for you to explore the old city center. It is particularly interesting for all that are interested in the history and architecture of Barcelona. Some of the buildings of the windy roads date back to the Roman settlement in Barcelona, many date back to the Middle Age and few have only been built "recently" in the 18-20th century.
Points of interests in the quarter of your Barcelona accommodation include:


  • Nova Square - with engravings of Picasso

  • Cathedral Avenue - local crafts and astonishing facades of buildings from the Roman and Middle Age

  • The Roman Tower, Roman Wall

  • Angel Square - The former entrance to the Roman city

  • Sant Jaume Square


...and much more. Enjoy your stay in the Catalonian sunshine capital and its rich cultural heritage!
