The Gothic quarter or Barri Gotic
The Gothic quarter or Barri Gotic is the oldest area of the Ciutat Vella
and consists of the medieval heart of Barcelona. Until the 15th
century it was surrounded by the city walls. Most of the old town
walls have since disappeared as the city expanded, but some remain.
The Barri Gotic is a maze of narrow old streets, with interesting shops
and eateries. The area contains the majority of historic buildings mostly
dating from the 14th and 15th century, when Barcelona was at the height
of its trading prosperity. The combination of these 2 features draws both
Spanish and international tourists from to this historic city, voted by
many as the top tourist City destination in the world.
