The venue

Ciutat Vella

Ciutat Vella

Roman walls, Gothic grid, stream of centuries. Heart, market, pulse.

The Ciutat Vella district is the ancient origin of Barcelona; among vestiges of Barcino, medieval layouts, and portside buzz, a dense, noisy, inexhaustible urban life unfolds. Its narrow streets, historic squares, and buildings recounting centuries of history, commerce, and diverse coexistence form the city's foundational soul.
