Passeig de Lluis Companys (pass by)

Built for the Universal Exposition in 1888, the Arc de Triomf stood at the head of the avenue that led to the main entrance of the fair, in Parc de la Ciutadella. The redbrick monument, built in the Neo-Mudéjar style, reflected the eclectic, decorative taste so typical of Catalan Art Nouveau in vogue at that time.

Carrer del Portal Nou, 2 (pass by)

We are in the heart of the Sant Pere neighborhood, which, together with Santa Caterina, was a major center of commercial and textile activity from its origins. During the 19th century, the area was filled with silk and cotton factories and printing workshops, with more than 280 textile businesses operating between the two neighborhoods. Carrer del Portal Nou has ancient origins, as it once served as an entrance to the city from an old Roman road coming from France. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the street was lined with porticoes that supported commercial life, although most were demolished in the early 19th century. Today, only a few remain. The area, near Barcelona’s medieval walls, is also surrounded by local legends, with reports of mysterious apparitions seen late at night.

Monasterio de Sant Pere de les Puel.les (pass by)

Sant Pere Square was once home to the Monastery of Sant Pere de les Puel·les, founded before the first millennium as a refuge for noble nuns. Repeatedly destroyed by invasions, wars, and fires, the monastery was rebuilt many times and briefly enjoyed prosperity after its reconsecration in 1143. Eventually confiscated and used as a prison, the nuns were forced to leave permanently. Today, the site is surrounded by legends of ghostly nuns said to haunt the square, unable to rest after centuries of suffering.

Carrer de la Neu de Sant Cugat, 4 (pass by)

This narrow, picturesque street in the Born district was once known for selling real snow, long before refrigerators existed. People came here to buy snow used to cool drinks, preserve food, or make ice cream.

Carrer de la Flor del Lliri, 5 (pass by)

A historic, mysterious corner where the ancient Roman Road connected Barcelona to Europe, passing through lively streets and centered around the once-famous, now darkly reputed Hostal Flor de Lliri.

Placeta d'En Marcús, 6 (pass by)

In Barcelona’s Ribera district, Plaça d’En Marcús is named after Bernat Marcús, a wealthy 12th-century benefactor who funded charity works, including a chapel and hospital for the poor and pilgrims.

Carrer de Montcada (pass by)

A key historic spot in Barcelona, now a street of galleries and museums, was originally the 11th-century coastal path Camí del Born in the undefined Vilanova del Mar area, whose lands were later granted to influential citizens by Count Ramon Berenguer IV.

Passeig del Born (pass by)

Passeig del Born, a historic and lively Barcelona spot, was once home to medieval jousts but later became a dark site linked to the Inquisition, hiding eerie legends beneath its charming facade.

Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar (pass by)

Built between 1329 and 1384, the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar is a stunning example of Catalan Gothic, funded and built by Ribera’s residents, especially the bastaixos—workers who carried heavy stones from Montjuïc over long distances. Unlike Barcelona’s Cathedral, it belonged to the people, giving it special significance.
