If you are planning a trip to Barcelona, you have probably heard of 'Gaudi' the most.
But Barcelona isn't just about Gaudí.
But Barcelona isn't just about Gaudí.
At the very heart of Barcelona is the romantic Old Town.
It can be broadly divided into three areas: the Gothic Quarter, the Laval Quarter, and the Born Quarter.
Among them, the Gothic Quarter is a place where you can feel a strange atmosphere as if you have gone back to the Middle Ages.

Barcelona's Gothic Quarter
•
Located in the heart of Barcelona's old town
•
The alleys are like a maze, and the historic buildings and stories make you feel like you've time-traveled to the Middle Ages.
•
There are many fun things to see and do along the streets, including shopping, restaurants, snacks, and busking.
❣ 1. Portal del Angel
To the main street leading into the Gothic Quarter,
It is crowded with people all year round and is lined with stores selling mid- to low-priced clothing brands.

❣ 2. Els 4 Gats
Opened in 892, 4Gats was a popular hangout for Barcelona's intellectuals and artists at the time.
Although it has gone through many ups and downs, it still retains the bohemian atmosphere of that time.

❣ 3. Cathedral Square (Plaza Nova)
A place where the wind gathers as it winds through the narrow alleys of the Gothic Quarter.
Under the sunlight pouring down without stopping, Sardanha folk dance unfolds, and the sounds of street musicians never cease.
That's why this place is called 'the heart of Barcelona's spirit'.

❣ 4. Bisbe Road (Carrer del Bisbe)
It is the most Gothic place among the Gothic Quarter.
Following this road, which still retains its medieval atmosphere, we enter the Roman city of Barsino, which dates back two thousand years.

❣ 5. Sant Felip Neri Square
Medieval cemeteries, Gaudí's death, the deaths of innocent children, the film 'Perfume', the novel 'The Shadow of the Wind', etc.
It is a place where even death can be beautiful.
As a jewel of the Gothic Quarter, it is a beautiful space and many people come here to take the best photos of their lives.

❣ 6. Temple of Augustus (Temple d'August)
This is where four temple columns from the Roman city of Barsino, 2,000 years ago, remain!
It's surprising that the temple columns are still in their original locations, but you'll be even more surprised by the shabby appearance of the entrance.

❣ 7. King's Square (Pl. del Rei)
One of the most peaceful places in Barcelona!
In 1493, Columbus, who had discovered the New World and returned, met with Ferdinand, the king of Spain at the time.
This is where he reported his findings to Queen Isabella.
They say that sitting on the steps of a square surrounded by medieval buildings gives you a strange sense of nostalgia😉

A romantic road connecting Las Ramblas and the City Hall Square.

❣ 10. Plaza Reial
It was once the most dangerous place in Barcelona,
With the creation of the Plaza Mayor, palm trees, fountains, terraces and Gaudí's first work, the street lamps
Now it's the hottest place that no one can avoid!

❣ 11. Avignon Street (44, Calle de Avinyó)
This is the place where 'Les Demoiselles d'Avignon', which is said to be the beginning of 'Picasso's Cubism', was set.
The brothel where the young Picasso was said to have frequented has now been forgotten,
Its unique exotic and bohemian feel remains to this day.

A place that makes you want to write a letter to someone,
Rest your tired legs and look back on the paths and squares you have walked, and the time you spent there.
