Stroll through the Barri Gòtic and after passing under the Pont del Bisbe, if you're lucky, on the left a gate is temporarily open to an inner courtyard.

In reality, and despite its name, several landmark buildings in the Gothic Quarter do not date to the Middle Ages. Rather, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the quarter was completely transformed from a sombre neighborhood to a tourist attraction through a massive restoration project, timed to be completed for the 1929 International Exhibition. This allowed the city and the surrounding region of Catalonia to portray itself in a positive light to the world's media. Further, restoration of existing buildings and the creation of brand new neo-Gothic structures continued as late as the 1960s.

Cameron Offices, Belconnen, Canberra, ACT. Mostly neglected but a fine example of early brutalist architecture designed by John Andrews. Unfortunately I forsee the demolition of this building in the near future, but hope I am wrong.
