A remarkable concentration of beautiful medieval Gothic buildings just a couple of blocks northeast of the Ramblas, the BARRI GOTIC forms the very heart of the old town. Once it was entirely enclosed by fourth-century AD Roman walls, but what you see now dates principally from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, when Barcelona reached the height of her commercial prosperity before being absorbed into the burgeoning kingdom of Castile. Parts of the ancient walls can still be seen incorporated into later structures, especially around the cathedral.
