Le quartier résidentiel le plus ancien de Barcelone est un labyrinthe de rues étroites abritant de fantastiques exemples d’architecture gothique. De nombreux jeunes créateurs en vogue y ont ouvert des boutiques au cours des dernières années, aux côtés de restaurants élégants mais pas trop criards, notamment des bars à tapas qui se remplissent de jeune presque tous les soirs. À côté de bâtiments gothiques comme l’imposante cathédrale de Barcelone, on peut voir les vestiges les plus concentrés de la période romaine ici, entre la Plaça de la Catedral et la Plaça Sant Jaume. Les anciens murs romains démarquent toujours la frontière entre ce quartier et ses quartiers voisins. Localement appelé « Barri Gòtic », ce quartier animé offre l’expérience la plus atmosphérique et envoûtante de la ville, où l’élégance ne manque pas.

Antoni Gaudí, l'architecte qui a construit ce joyau du modernisme catalan, a voulu que la façade reflète ses idées romantiques et anti-classiques sur le design. Elle a été construite pour la famille Milà entre 1906 et 1910. Ni la famille ni le public ont été très impressionné, et a été surnommé La Pedrera (carrière de pierre) comme une insulte. C'est seulement plus tard, en 1984 qu'elle a remporté un grand succès lorsque l'UNESCO l'a déclaré Site du Patrimoine Mondial. Maintenant de renommée internationale, La Pedrera ou la Casa Milà est un excellent exemple de l'architecture civile de Gaudi, elle est esthétiquement intéressante et unique, ainsi que remarquablement pratique.

Parc de la Ciutadella is a lush attraction nestled in the Old City, known locally as the Ciutat Vella. The park was designed by Josep Fontserè and his then-unknown assistant Antoni Gaudí, who went on to pioneer Catalan modernism with such masterpieces as the Basilica de la Sagrada Família. Although it no longer bears the distinction of being the only green space in the city, the park remains an important respite for city dwelling nature lovers, as well as those looking to experience the essence of Barcelona. Within the park are several attractions for the whole family, among them the Barcelona Zoo and Catalan Parliament. Weave through the verdant park and its many cultural offerings, taking time to relax by the lake as the ornate fountain creates a peaceful melody.
