Gothic Quarter

7.9
4.8/5
116 reviews
Gothic Quarter is the heart of Barcelona's old city and the birthplace of the city. Around the turn of the millennium, the Romans established the settlement of Barcino here; remnants of the Roman square city walls can still be identified on many street corners, while many buildings were constructed in the Middle Ages, forming the profound backdrop of this area. Strolling through it, the streets are intricately intertwined, and small squares and narrow alleys layer to create a deep medieval atmosphere. Several iconic squares in the area each have their own unique features. Plaça de Sant Jaume is the political center of Barcelona, with the City Hall (Casa de la Ciutat / Ayuntamiento) and the Palau de la Generalitat de Catalunya standing on either side. King's Square concentrates the Palau Reial Major, the Roman wall ruins, and the City History Museum; the museum's basement also preserves walkable ancient Roman street ruins. Placa Reial is famous for its symmetrical arcades and palm trees. The Cathedral of Barcelona is a representative work of Gothic architecture, with white geese kept in its inner courtyard, a legend related to the city's patron saint, Saint Eulalia. Pont del Bisbe is a neo-Gothic style covered bridge, with a skull and dagger decoration hidden beneath the arch. Hidden in a courtyard behind the cathedral, the Temple of Augustus ruins, with several Roman stone columns dating back over 2,000 years, are one of the important ancient Roman stone remains in Barcelona.Spain · Barcelona

Vila Vella is a charming coastal town located on the Mediterranean coast, approx. 100 km north of Barcelona. The town nestles in a horseshoe-shaped blue bay, and medieval stone walls stand on the high ground at the end of the main beach. The main beach is gentle and open, suitable for swimming. You can rent water sports equipment on the other side of the bay, and a quieter, smaller beach is hidden behind the city walls. A trail passes right through the town, and hiking along the coastal cliffs allows you to explore nearby coves. The town still retains small-scale fishing, with the catch mostly supplied to local restaurants. Enjoying Catalan-style seafood dishes paired with local wine while sitting by the sea is particularly pleasant. For a different perspective, you can take a glass-bottom boat out to sea to see schools of fish and sea caves through the bottom of the boat. Summer is suitable for a beach vacation, while spring and autumn are better for hiking and exploring history.Tossa de Mar · 61.2 km from Figueres

Founded in 894, Besalu is one of the most important medieval cities in Catalonia. There are many ancient buildings in the ancient city, such as churches, monasteries, houses. The streets with colonnades and the Jewish quarters on the side all reflect the long history of the ancient city. There is also a Roman-style ancient stone bridge built in the twelfth century. This ancient stone bridge is supported by seven large arches and is magnificent. Strolling through the ancient city, admiring the medieval settlements on both sides, and drinking a glass of wine in the center of the ancient town are very pleasing.Besalu · 23.1 km from Figueres

Mercat de la Boqueria is a public market with a history dating back to the Middle Ages. Today, under its iron-framed roof, you will find both local residents doing their daily shopping and tourists looking to experience the local atmosphere. The stalls inside are neatly and meticulously arranged, with fresh fruits and vegetables, Iberian ham, cheese, seafood, and candies spread out like an overturned palette. The deeper parts of the market are even more interesting. The seafood section displays sea urchins, red prawns, squid, and razor clams. You can have sea urchins opened and eaten raw on the spot, and some seafood stalls can even cook your purchase for you. The back area is home to many bar-style taverns specializing in paella and local tapas. Ordering a drink and pairing it with some snacks is a great way to get a taste of the local flavor. If you do not want to sit down, buying fried seafood or other prepared foods to eat while you walk around is also very convenient.Spain · Barcelona

The old port area is the center of gravity and the essence of the entire Marseille region, not only because it is the origin of Marseille and was the third largest port in the world 200 years ago, but more importantly, the pure Marseille style can only be seen here. There are many famous monuments around the Old Port, including the castles of Saint John and Saint Nicholas built in the era of Louis XIV. In addition, the old port is also the life and entertainment center of the Maasai people. The area around the Old Port is a famous food district. Most of the restaurants in the port operate a famous Marseille delicacy - "Marseille Fish Soup". The "Old Port" is actually not old. It was rebuilt after the Second World War, but the locals still call it "Old Port". Apart from habit, there should be a historical sentiment in it. Every morning, the fish market here is very lively, and the wharf is full of small fishing boats and boats. The whole harbor is full of the unique leisure atmosphere of southern France. The master plan of the Old Port Mirror View Pavilion was jointly undertaken by FosterPartners and French landscape architect Michel Desvigne. A huge viewing pavilion of 46 × 22 meters, which is like a mirror, was built here. It is supported by 8 thin columns. Since then, the corners of the mirror pavilion have been gradually thinned to reduce the visual weight. The view of the surrounding old port is reflected from the ceiling of the polished stainless steel mirror, as well as the faces of thousands of tourists who stop to watch, creating a strange beauty, which not only provides a place for tourists to stop and shade, but also It allows tourists to become part of the landscape when they enjoy the scenery of the old port.France · Marseille

The square, boxy towers, standing dozens of meters high, once served as the main entrance to the World's Fair and are now iconic landmarks of the square. Pass through thetwin towersand head up the avenue, passing the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc, to reach the Montjuïc National Palace at the top of the hill. Looking up from the square, thetwin towersecho the domed palace on the hill. With its symmetrical axis and expansive view, such a large-scale landscape composition is rare in Barcelona.

The Gothic Quarter in Barcelona has a history of thousands of years. If you like history, it is worth visiting. It covers a large area and takes about a day to walk around the city. I like this feeling very much. It feels very romantic.

Tossa is really a very suitable town for vacation. The water is super clear. There are restaurants and hotels along the coastline, and there are many choices. It is a summer resort. October is their last busy month. Some restaurants and hotels have closed down. Although the outdoor temperature is still over 20 degrees, the water feels super cold when you go in. The stone town at the end of the beach is the best viewing platform in the town. It is not too tiring to climb up, and there is no extra charge. The view and scenery are good.

波盖利亚市场是巴塞罗那的一个著名景点,没有必要特意来,路过正好进去逛了逛。人太多了,基本以游客为主。就是一个大的市场,但是非常干净,没有味道,有卖火腿的,蔬菜,水果和海鲜的,还有现场加工,逛累了可以喝杯小酒吃点吃的。总之还不错,别有一番风味。

❤️Barcelona, ​​Passeig de Gràcia, is the pride of Barcelona people. 🌟Count down those "weird" architectural artworks by masters: Figure 1⃣️-2⃣️: Casa Batlló, this is a story in itself. 👸 A beautiful princess was trapped in the castle by a dragon. The hero St. George fought with the dragon to rescue the princess and stabbed the dragon with a sword. The dragon's blood turned into a bright red rose, and St. George presented the flower to the princess. Gaudi's inspiration came from this story. The roof of "Casa Batlló" is arched, with colorful mosaic tiles and wavy glass ceramic pieces, like the back of the dragon, fishbone-like protruding balconies and colorful flying dragons hovering on the roof, and the cross-shaped chimney represents the hero. All these unique ideas add a layer of mythology to the design. Figure 3⃣️-6⃣️: Casa Mila, alien roof and art coffee shop. 👽 At that time, the wealthy Mr. Milà (Pere Milà) admired the Casa Batlló designed by Gaudi very much. Casa Milà was the last private residence designed by Gaudi. Now Casa Milà has become a cultural and art center, with one floor dedicated to exhibition halls and audio-visual rooms, and a suite that reproduces the modernist furniture of the time. The attic and rooftop terrace are the "Gaudi's Space" exhibition hall, which showcases the master's exquisite design and is most worth seeing. The chimneys on the roof that look like alien soldiers are fantastic no matter how you take pictures. ☕️ If you are tired of shopping, I especially recommend the Art Café on the second floor of Casa Milà, where you can eat some simple Western food and drink a cup of fragrant coffee. Figure 7⃣️-🔟: Barcelona's famous Discord District (Illadela Discòrdia). This short stretch of road brings together three buildings designed by three masters of different styles, namely the dreamy "Casa Batlló", the dignified "Casa Amatller" and the soft "Casa Lleó Morera". 🦁️ I really like the pink-toned House of Lions and Mulberry Trees. Unlike other buildings, it is not named after the owner, but after the lion (lleó) and mulberry tree (morera) in the decorative pattern. Although the exterior is not as stunning as other famous buildings, the old wooden carved elevator inside, the ubiquitous flower decorative patterns, and the use of colors highlight the vitality of this building. I wonder if the architect also has a girl's heart? 💗 Figure 1⃣️1⃣️: The Tàpies Foundation (Fundació Antoni Tàpies), which exhibits the works of the most important Catalan artists. Above the front of the building is the famous wire sculpture "Cloud and Chair". 🌹 Passeig de Gracia (Pg. Gracia) is a stunningly beautiful avenue where you will forget the passage of time.

The Old Port of Marseille is the most vibrant part of the city. The fish market bustles in the morning, cafes are filled with sunbathers in the afternoon, and yacht masts sway in the sunset at dusk. Old buildings line both sides of the port, alongside modern restaurants, and paving stones commemorate World War II. You don't need to specifically seek out tourist attractions; just stroll around, watch the ships, feel the sea breeze, or enjoy a bowl of bouillabaisse by the dock, and you'll experience the city's lively atmosphere.
