Ciutat Vella, Historic district in central Barcelona, Spain.
The Ciutat Vella encompasses four distinct neighborhoods: El Raval, Gothic Quarter, La Ribera, and La Barceloneta, connected by narrow medieval streets.
The district preserves Roman foundations from the 1st century BC, with subsequent medieval structures forming the heart of Barcelona's urban development.
Four main museums in Ciutat Vella present different aspects of Barcelona's heritage: MACBA, CCCB, Maritime Museum, and Picasso Museum.
The area contains 12 metro stations across four lines, providing direct access to major landmarks and connecting visitors to other parts of Barcelona.
The underground ruins beneath El Born Cultural Centre reveal an entire neighborhood from 1700s Barcelona, complete with streets and buildings.
