Uncover Barcelona’s Gothic secrets, medieval history, and breathtaking cathedral views on this immersive walking tour!
We will explore Barcelona’s iconic Ramblas and the historic Gothic Quarter, filled with spectacular medieval gothic architecture, including the remains of the Roman-era city walls. It’s also one of the most exciting parts of the city, as it’s home to some of its most famous landmarks, such as the Barcelona Cathedral, famous for its gargoyles statues and other mythical creatures. We’ll uncover the rich history of the gothic centre of Barcelona, which has developed since the Roman period to become the thriving capital of Catalonia as it is today. We’ll visit the Jewish Quarter, known as “The Call”, a collection of streets in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter that were established by a group of Jewish merchants in the X Century.
