Barri Gòtic rests on the foundations of the ancient Roman Barcino, founded two thousand years ago. This route traces the city's origin at the intersection of the Cardo and Decumanus, where the current Carrer del Bisbe and Carrer de la Llibreteria maintain their original layout. The path traverses the legacy of the imperial colony up to medieval architecture. The name Barri Gòtic, while defining its dominant aesthetic, is a modern construct.
The Planns tip
Look at the pavement and the alignment of Carrer del Bisbe and Carrer de la Llibreteria to identify the axes of the original Roman layout.
