A Walk Through Time: The Architecture of Barcelona’s Old Town

#europetrip #travel #thingstodo #citycentre #thingstodo #barcelona #spain #architecture Wandering through Barcelona’s Old Town (Ciutat Vella) feels like stepping into a living museum. The blend of Gothic, Romanesque, and Modernist architecture tells the city’s story through centuries-old facades, intricate balconies, and stunning cathedrals. The Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic) is a maze of charming alleyways where medieval buildings stand proudly next to hidden courtyards and grand squares. I was mesmerized by the Barcelona Cathedral’s soaring spires and the contrast of historic palaces with trendy cafés tucked beneath stone archways. If you love architecture, history, or simply getting lost in beautiful streets, this is a must-see in Barcelona!
