FEATURED HOTELS - GOTHIC QUARTER - BARRI GOTIC
|
|
| The Gothic Quarter (Barri
Gòtic in Catalan; Spanish: Barrio Gótico) is the centre of
the old city of Barcelona. It stretches from La Rambla to Via Laietana,
and from the Mediterranean seafront to Ronda de Sant Pere. Despite
several changes undergone in the 19th and early 20th century, many of the
buildings date from Medieval times, some from as far back as the Roman
settlement of Barcelona. Remains of the squared Roman Wall can be seen
around Tapineria and Sots-Tinent Navarro to the north, Avinguda de la Catedral
and Plaça Nova to the west and Carrer de la Palla to the south.
El Call, the medieval Jewish quarter, is located within this area too.
The Barri Gòtic retains a labyrinthine street plan, with many small
streets opening out into squares. Most of the quarter is closed to regular
traffic although open to service vehicles and taxis. |
