The Gothic Quarter of Barcelona

The Gothic Quarter (Catalan: Barri Gòtic or El Gòtic; Spanish: Barrio Gótico) is the historic heart of old Barcelona, Spain. It stretches from La Rambla to Via Laietana, and from the Mediterranean seafront to the Ronda de Sant Pere. This enchanting district, part of the Ciutat Vella (Old City) area, weaves a captivating tapestry of narrow, winding streets, medieval monuments, and hidden squares. Within its labyrinth, you’ll discover Roman ruins, beautiful churches, and cobbled lanes. The Gothic Quarter is a sensory journey through time, where every corner whispers stories of Barcelona’s rich past. The Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia, also known as Barcelona Cathedral, stands as a magnificent testament to Gothic architecture in the heart of the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona. The cathedral’s construction spanned over six centuries, with its earliest parts dating back to the 13th century. #christmastrip
