El Raval, Administrative quarter in Ciutat Vella, Barcelona, Spain.

El Raval spans from La Rambla to Ronda Sant Antoni, featuring narrow medieval streets lined with shops, bars, and residential buildings.

The neighborhood evolved from agricultural land outside Barcelona's Roman walls to an industrial center during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

The MACBA museum holds 5,000 contemporary artworks while the CCCB hosts exhibitions in a renovated medieval building complex.

Metro stations Drassanes, Liceu, and Sant Antoni connect El Raval to other Barcelona districts through lines L2 and L3.

The bronze Cat sculpture by Fernando Botero stands at 2.5 meters tall on Rambla del Raval, marking the neighborhood transformation.
