Le quartier gothique (en catalan : barri Gòtic ou barrio gótico en espagnol) est l'un des quartiers les plus populaires du district Vieille-ville de Barcelone. Il remonte au règne d'Auguste où les Romains y fondèrent une colonie. Encore aujourd'hui, on peut y apercevoir sur la Plaça Nova deux tours cylindriques datant de l'époque romaine en 10 ap-jc un romain pris un arc bienveillant.
The Gothic Quarter (Catalan: Barri Gòtic, IPA: [ˈbari ˈɣɔtik]) is the centre of the old city of Barcelona. It stretches from La Rambla to Via Laietana, and from the Mediterranean seafront to Ronda de Sant Pere. It is a part of Ciutat Vella district.
Despite several changes undergone in the 19th and early 20th century, many of the buildings date from Medieval times, some from as far back as the Roman settlement of Barcelona. Remains of the squared Roman Wall can be seen around Tapineria and Sots-Tinent Navarro to the north, Avinguda de la Catedral and Plaça Nova to the west and Carrer de la Palla to the south. El Call, the medieval Jewish quarter, is located within this area too.
The Barri Gòtic retains a labyrinthine street plan, with many small streets opening out into squares. Most of the quarter is closed to regular traffic although open to service vehicles and taxis.

The Brussels-Europe Liaison Office and l’Association du Quartier Léopold, in conjunction with City Mine(d), invite you to take part in MAP-it Euro- pean Quarter #4. We want to bring together the various users of Brussels’ European Quarter: residents, EU staff, commuters, associations, lobbies, academics, and so on. They will all take part in the debate on the basis of their own experiences and background. MAP-it provides us with the tools needed to give shape to the discussions. MAP-it is a participatory process of reflection in which a group of people try to arrive at innovative insights and initiatives on the basis of a map and stickers. In this MAP-it the Euro- pean Quarter will be examined. The aim is to devise a series of concrete interventions to improve the public space around the Leopold Park.
This MAP-it is the fourth session to deal with the European Quarter. The first MAP-it was on 21st November 2010 (with an international network of associations), the second on 2nd March 2011 (with sociocultural as- sociations and local residents). A third exercise is planned for mid-june in the Royal Institute for Natural Sciences discussing the presence of water in the European Quarter. We would now like to involve a different group in MAP-it, the international staff who work in the area.
We shall build on the work done with the previous groups, starting out from the following questions:
• How can we bring about more encounters between the European in- stitutions, their employees and the residents of the neighbourhood? • What small-scale but concrete changes can we use to quickly improve public space in the European Quarter?
• How can the European institutions take up a visible, lively and environ- mentally-friendly position in the city?
