District Gotico is where the town was founded by Romans is worth seeing during the day and the night. You will find old romans walls, Cathedral in Gothic style, you will hear street music close to Cathedral, meet street mucisians and will feel the atmosphere of the old town walking by its narrow streets and trying delicious food.

The district of Ciutat Vella grew out of the old walled city, and is a fascinating warren of narrow streets and little squares that take you on a trip through Barcelona’s history. Ciutat Vella is made up of four neighbourhoods, each of which played a key role in the building of Barcelona: El Gòtic, the city’s oldest urban hub, is the place where it could be said that it all began; Sant Pere, Santa Caterina, El Born i la Ribera, the medieval quarter; El Raval, the area that grew up around the rural roads outside the city walls; and La Barceloneta, a seaside neighbourhood next to the port that was built in the mid-18th century under the watchful eye of La Ciutadella, the fortress that was built after the rebellion of 1714 to clamp down on the people of Barcelona.

The most picturesque and atmospheric part of the city. Many of the buildings here date back to the middle ages, and some artifacts have been preserved since the Roman Empire. In the center is the main Church of Barcelona and the Bishop's residence. The Jewish quarter and the Picasso Museum aroused no small interest in me personally.
