GUIDED TOURGOTHICARCHITECTURE
  • From €14
  • Plaça Nova

Explore medieval Barcelona through Ildefonso Falcones' eyes. This 2.5-hour tour starts at Plaça Nova, covering the Jewish Quarter, Plaça de Sant Jaume, Plaça del Rei (with the Chapel of Santa Àgata and the Saló del Tinell), Plaça del Blat, Plaça de la Llana, Carrer Montcada, and the Consolat de Mar. It concludes with a climb to the terrace of Santa Maria del Mar, a testament to 14th-century Barcelona's faith and grit. Dive deep into the city's history and architecture.

The Planns tip

Sidestep the Carrer Montcada crowds by circling via Carrer Carders; the neighborhood's quiet enhances the historical perspective as you walk.

The venue

Plaça Nova hosts the vestiges of Roman Barcino, with its walls and towers, a square established in 1355. Alongside the Cathedral, the space reveals temporal layers, integrating a Picasso frieze into the Col·legi d'Arquitectes.
