important for

interesting for
the inner court,
Patio de los
naranjos, with its
gothic stairways.

9. Las Ramblas
It is a 2-kilometer long
boulevard between Plaça de
Catalunya and Barcelona’s
port, showing what is
perhaps the essence of
Barcelona.

find people of all ages,
nationalities and social
classes; including shoeshine
boys, small flower stands,
living statues, acrobats,
jugglers, musicians, big-
business galleries, cafeterias,
and extremely comfy
terraces.

10. Barrio Gótico
The Gothic Quarter is
one of the oldest and
most interesting areas
in Barcelona. There are
many ruins of old
fortifications to be
seen in the area, which
still remain from the
time the Romans
ruled. With its
winding streets it is
easy to get lost, but the
many tapas bars and
little cafes make the
journey most
enjoyable.

11. Palau de la
Musica
Catalana
Palau de la
Musica Catalana
is an impressive
concert house. It
was designed by
Domenech i
Muntaner in
modernist style.

palace of the counts of

"Mirador del Rei Martí"
containing a gothic
chapel of 14th century,
and the ceremony hall
of the counts of
Barcelona, where
Christopher Columbus
was received by the
king after returning
from America.
