Historic Barcelona: Gothic Secrets
Step back in time as you navigate the narrow, winding streets of the Gothic Quarter and El Born. Discover Roman walls, medieval cathedrals, and centuries of history hidden in plain sight.
- Barcelona Cathedral — The Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia, constructed between the 13th and 15th centuries, is a stunning example of Catalan Gothic architecture.
- Pont del Bisbe — The Bishop's Bridge is one of the most photographed spots in the Gothic Quarter, though it was actually constructed in 1928, much later than the surrounding buildings.
- Plaça del Rei — This monumental square is bordered by the Palau Reial Major, the former residence of the counts of Barcelona and kings of Aragon.
