Barcelona Gothic Quarter Self-Guided Audio Walk: Cathedral, Roman Walls and Plaça Reial

About this experience

Barcelona began as a small Roman town, and its Gothic Quarter is three cities stacked in one: the Roman colony, the royal city of the Middle Ages, and a 20th-century remake that made the old town look even older. Start at the Roman gate on Plaça Nova, stand before the Cathedral's front, see a royal chapel standing on a Roman tower, and step into the King's Square. Find four columns of the Temple of Augustus, free to see in a courtyard during opening hours, the two governments of Plaça de Sant Jaume, and the Pont del Bisbe, built in 1928. Pause at Sant Felip Neri, scarred by the 1938 bombing, walk the lanes of El Call, the medieval Jewish quarter, and reach Santa Maria del Pi, La Rambla and Plaça Reial with Gaudí's lampposts. Twelve stops, about 1.8 km and 75 minutes, flat, at your own pace, in English. Entry to the Cathedral, Santa Maria del Pi and the city history museum is not included; the Temple of Augustus is free.
