    10 minutes

  • El Mon Neix En Cada Besada

    A photomosaic erected in 2014 connected to the Catalan defeat on September 11, 1714, in the War of Spanish Succession. This event sparked the celebration of “La Diada” or “Catalonia Day” and represents what freedom means to the inhabitants of Barcelona.

    10 minutes

  • Barcelona Cathedral

    This Gothic-style church sits in the heart of the city and honours the life and death of the city’s patron saint, Eulalia, who was tortured to death by the Romans.

    10 minutes

  • N/A

    This peculiar spot nestled in the Gothic Quarter is a fusion of Gothic and Renaissance architecture which houses the vertical face of the Roman wall and aqueducts.

    10 minutes

  • Pont del Bisbe

    Carrer de Bisbe or “Bishop Street” served as one of the main thoroughfares in Roman-occupied Barcino and this Neo-Gothic style bridge is the source of a superstitious legend that is sure to captivate even the most sceptical of visitors.

    10 minutes

  • Placa Sant Felip Neri

    This picturesque square tucked away in the Gothic Quarter holds a sombre history related to the Spanish Civil War. The square's scars still bear witness to its tragic past.

    10 minutes

    The Jewish quarter of Barcelona with its narrow streets and mediaeval architecture provides insight into the city's rich Jewish history, including its synagogue and legends.

    A bustling square that serves as a hub of government activity, surrounded by historical buildings.

    10 minutes

    A seemingly charming square that houses the Royal Palace provides a sense of Barcelona's regal heritage and offers a glimpse into the city’s dark past.

    10 minutes

  • N/A

    The former “Wheat Square” was once a major hub for grain trading and holds the secret of a heavenly legend that gave it the name “Angel’s Square.”
