Check out this old market with its own character

Barcelona’s Carrer Montcada is lined with a succession of medieval, Renaissance and baroque palazzos, their majestic doorways opening to reveal their beautiful courtyards of venerable stone. They bear witness to the rich and glorious past of medieval Barcelona’s main street which was home to the city’s nobles.

It is a church in the Ribera district of Barcelona, built between 1329 and 1383 at the height of Principality of Catalonia’s maritime and mercantile preeminence. It is an outstanding example of Catalan Gothic, with a purity and unity of style that is very unusual in large medieval buildings.

There you will see the ancient Roman walls, while going towards the center of the Old Town.

Plaza del Rey is a 14th-century medieval public square in the Barri Gòtic of Barcelona, The square is surrounded by the Palau Reial Major including the Saló del Tinell, the Palau del Lloctinent (“Lieutenant’s Palace”), the 15th-century tower Mirador del Rei Martí (“King Martin’s Watchtower”), and the Capella Reial de Santa Àgata (“Royal Chapel of St Agatha”). It is a legendary square surrounded by many iconic buildings.

The Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia, also known as Barcelona Cathedral, is the Gothic cathedral and seat of the Archbishop of Barcelona. Explore it from inside and outside and experience its jaw-dropping beauty.

The journey continues at Carrer del Bisbe, meaning ‘Bishop’s street’, where you will find the stunning neo-Gothic bridge known locally as the ‘Pont del Bisbe ‘or’ Bishop’s Bridge. The bridge crosses the street uniting buildings on either side: the ‘Casa dels Canonges’ (Canon’s House) and the ‘Palau de la Generalitat’.
Although it blends in seamlessly with its Medieval surroundings, the bridge was in fact constructed in 1928 by Joan Rubió i Bellver. It is one of the most photographed sights in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarte.

The romantic, slightly faded Plaça Sant Felip Neri is an unmissable corner of the Gothic Quarter. Presided over by the baroque church from which it takes its name from, the square features a number of historic elements that make it particularly attractive, especially when you view it in silence.
The narrow, labyrinthine streets of the Gothic Quarter come out into this unexpected spot. A tiny square with a charming little fountain in the middle and overlooked by the baroque church of Sant Felip Neri.
