Free Tour of the Gothic Quarter & Jewish Quarter: Secrets of Barcelona

Did you know that the ancient Roman city of Barcino lies hidden beneath the streets of the Gothic Quarter? Or that some of its most “medieval” corners are actually less than a hundred years old?

Discover more than 2,000 years of Barcelona’s history guided by an archaeologist and museum director on a tour where history, archaeology, interesting facts, and legends come together to help you see the city in a whole new light.

We’ll walk alongside the Roman walls, the Cathedral, Sant Felip Neri, Plaça del Rei, Pont del Bisbe, and Sant Jaume, uncovering stories of Romans, saints, kings, wars, and surprising figures.

We’ll also venture into the Jewish Quarter, wandering through its narrow medieval streets to learn about the life of Barcelona’s Jewish community, the Major Synagogue, the Dispute of 1263, and the dramatic assault of 1391.

We don’t just want to show you monuments. We want to reveal its secrets, legends, and hidden traces.

Barcelona has many stories. Come discover the ones hidden among the stones of the Gothic Quarter.
