    A photomosaic erected in 2014 connected to the Catalan defeat on September 11, 1714, in the War of Spanish Succession. This event sparked the celebration of “La Diada” or “Catalonia Day” and represents what freedom means to the inhabitants of Barcelona.

    This peculiar spot nestled in the Gothic Quarter is a fusion of Gothic and Renaissance architecture which houses the vertical face of the Roman wall and aqueducts.

    10 minutes

  • Pont del Bisbe

    Carrer de Bisbe or “Bishop Street” served as one of the main thoroughfares in Roman-occupied Barcino and this Neo-Gothic style bridge is the source of a superstitious legend that is sure to captivate even the most sceptical of visitors.
