The Gothic Quarter
Between La Rambla and Via Laietana survives the Roman and medieval core: the cathedral, the Plaça del Rei and a tangle of streets where maps stop helping. It is the neighborhood you must get lost in on purpose.

The square circuit
Plaça Reial with its arcades and Gaudí lamps, the Plaça del Pi with its painters, Sant Felip Neri with its war scars. The Gothic Quarter is a chain of open-air rooms connected by alleys.
Roman Barcelona
The walls, the temple of Augusto hidden between medieval buildings and the subsoil of the history museum. Four stones explaining this was Barcino before it was anything.
Hours and rhythm
In the morning it is a neighborhood of residents and markets; in the evening it is the loudest and liveliest of the center. On Sundays many streets go quiet and shops close.
