Gothic quarter

The historic Barcelona, past and present of the city of Barcelona. The Gothic Quarter (El Gótic) is located within the district of Ciutat Vella, the name that designates the medieval city. Valords Barcelona shows you the Barri Gótic and all the areas and neighborhoods of Barcelona.

Living in the Gothic

The Gothic neighborhood takes us in time to the first years of the city of Barcelona since the city's history can be found between its walls. El Gótic is the key of tourism and the first image we have of what Barcelona is. Living in the Gothic means living in a house with history. Each of its buildings has a unique architecture. The most searched are old renovated apartments that transport you to the past but with all the comforts to live in a modern and current city like Barcelona.

Strolling along its busy Paseo del Ángel, one of the most sought-after streets in the country, enjoying the life of Las Ramblas, discovering places on Calle Ferrán, Plaça Sant Jaume, Calle de Argentería, visiting monuments such as the Cathedral of Barcelona, the Basilica of Santa María del Pi, Pont del Bisbe located on Calle del Obispo or dining on the famous Plaça Reial are some of our recommendations.

The Gothic is living history of Barcelona

In it you can find the Historical Archive of the city and political institutions such as the Barcelona City Council and the Palau de la Generalitat de Catalunya.
