Free Tour of Barcelona: Gothic Quarter, Modernism and Ramblas
Overview
An exclusive itinerary that I have designed myself, in which we will analyze between 30 and 40 different places or works that have to do with the three disciplines already mentioned. We will cover all historical periods: the first Iberian settlers (Layetans), Roman ruins with their defensive towers, the aqueduct and the temple of Augustus, the Visigoths and later the Muslims, mysteries and legends of the city, the Jewish quarter, the birth of the counties, the Catalan bourgeoisie, the Civil War, and we will analyze Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassical and Modernist architecture, and even contemporary art.
Wear good shoes and join me in this unique three-hour adventure, suitable for both culture lovers and those who want to learn about the history of the city.
