Barcelona Gothic Quarter

The beautiful neighborhood known as the Gothic Quarter is so called because it used to be the Roman village and thus has some remnants of its glorious past. These days because of the constant modernization it is easy to spot an ancient building right next to one built in the 90’s. It is this mix of old and new that brings people from all over the world to stay in the Gothic Quarter.

We toured the Gothic Quarter today and saw some of the oldest buildings that I have ever seen. There is a Basilica that was built in the 14th century and remnants from buildings from the 4th century Roman Empire.
