It boasts historic medieval structures and a labyrinth of narrow cobbled streets. Some are pedestrian-only affairs, which makes the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona fun (if not necessary) to explore on foot.
"Gothic Quarter" refers to the many Gothic structures that rose in the 13th to 15th centuries. However, the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona is not pure Gothic. There are some Roman ruins. You will even see modern buildings, but fortunately a few followed a traditional architectural style, as did the photogenic Gothic Bridge (see photo), which was built about 80 years ago.
This medieval church is the leading Gothic Quarter attraction. The choir stalls and screen are not to be missed.
