Barcelona’s Old Town: A Journey Through Architectural History

#europetrip #travel #architecture #spain #barcelona #thingstodo #citycentre Exploring Barcelona’s Old Town (Ciutat Vella) is like walking through an open-air history book. The district is a stunning blend of Gothic, Romanesque, and Modernist styles, with every street revealing intricate facades, elegant balconies, and centuries-old landmarks. In the Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic), I found myself immersed in a labyrinth of narrow streets, where medieval buildings seamlessly merge with lively plazas and hidden courtyards. The Barcelona Cathedral’s towering spires left me in awe, while historic palaces and charming stone archways frame bustling cafés. If you appreciate architecture, culture, or simply the magic of timeless streets, this is a place you won’t want to miss!
