Barcelona Old Town walking tour with official guide
Overview
This Tour will give you a quick insight into the rich and complex history of Barcelona. On a relaxed walk through the narrow streets of the Gothic Quarter we will follow the footsteps of its ancestors and learn more about different epochs and personalities that shaped the history of this heroic city over 2000 years.
Founded by the Romans in 1c.BC, Barcelona still embraces part of its origins inside the medieval buildings.
During prosperous times of Kingdom of Aragon, it was one of central ports of medieval Sea-trade with many merchant and diplomatic delegations established in the city.
The Jewish community, living in El Call, also helped in consolidation of culturally rich and cosmopolitan spirit over centuries until 1492, when Iberian Peninsula stopped being homeland for all 3 religions: Christianity, Judaism and Islam.
Eventually we will learn more about the political changes after the War of Spanish Succession (1702-1715), still echoing today.
