• Santa Mònica - Barcelona wouldn’t be the same without the Rambla. Strolling along this iconic boulevard is a must. Enjoy the vibrant atmosphere and admire landmarks from the Canaletes fountain to the Columbus Monument, linking the old and new city with sites like Liceu and Boqueria. It’s a walk through the city’s life and history.
• Placa Reial - This square’s beauty justifies its royal name (reial in Catalan means royal). The elegant ambiance of Plaça Reial is highlighted by its fountain, streetlamps, and palm trees, making it one of Barcelona’s liveliest spots, especially at night. It’s the city’s most beloved porticoed square.
• Ateneu Barcelones - In 1906, Palau Savassona became the home of Ateneu Barcelonès. This iconic association, led by notable figures like Àngel Guimerà, Valentí Almirall, Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Joan Maragall, and Pompeu Fabra, has been promoting culture for over 150 years.
• Papirum - Papirvm was established in the heart of Barcelona’s Gothic district in 1981, offering a paradise for writing enthusiasts. It blends ancient and handmade binding techniques using materials like leather, fabric, and paper, bridging the past and present.
• Carrer de l’Argenteria - Historic streets like Carrer de l’Argenteria have their unique charm. Walking through the Born, you’ll encounter names of trades such as Sabateria (shoemaking), Assaonador (tanning), Argenteria (silversmithing), and Cotoners (cotton trading). These names reflect the workshops of Barcelona’s key guilds from the late Middle Ages. Artisans of the same trade formed guilds to address common needs, setting up their premises on the same street, which then took on the name of their craft.
• Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar - The Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar, also known as the “Cathedral of La Ribera,” is a prime example of Gothic architecture with its harmonious proportions and serene ensemble.
• Els 4Gats - Els 4 Gats, a café in Barcelona, opened on June 12, 1897. It also served as a hostel, cabaret, pub, and restaurant until 1903, becoming a hub of Modernisme in Barcelona. Artist Ramon Casas i Carbó funded this bar on the ground floor of Casa Martí (1896), designed by architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch. Reconstructed in 1978, it was a favorite spot of Pablo Picasso during his early career.
• Santa Anna Church - The Church of Santa Anna in Barcelona is a peaceful retreat hidden in the city’s heart.
