Grime centuries deep
"The Gothic Quarter (Catalan: Barri Gòtic) is the historic center of the old city of Barcelona. It stretches from La Rambla to Via Laietana, and from the Mediterranean seafront to the Ronda de Sant Pere. It is a part of Ciutat Vella district.
The quarter encompasses the oldest parts of the city of Barcelona, and includes the remains of the city's Roman wall and several notable medieval landmarks. Much of the present-day fabric of the quarter, however, dates to the 19th and early 20th centuries.
The Barri Gòtic retains a labyrinthine street plan, with many small streets opening out into squares."
