Via Laietana, Major avenue in Gothic Quarter, Barcelona, Spain.

Via Laietana extends from Plaça Urquinaona to the seafront, separating the neighborhoods of La Ribera and El Born from the Gothic Quarter.

The construction of Via Laietana began in 1907 and required extensive demolition of medieval buildings to create a direct connection between Eixample and the port.

The street displays multiple architectural styles, including Art Deco and Noucentisme buildings, with the Caixa de Pensions structure designed by Enric Sagnier in 1917.

The avenue functions as a central transportation route with multiple bus lines and access to Jaume I and Urquinaona metro stations.

Two metro stations along Via Laietana were abandoned: Correus closed due to line modifications, while Banc station never opened to the public.

Location: Gothic Quarter

Architectural style: Noucentisme
