Your "playing field": the Gothic Quarter

Where the cathedral stands – whose current appearance with its impressive façade and central tower was created between 1886 and 1913 – the development of this area began with a Roman temple. This is the oldest centre of the town.

Most of the old buildings that have been preserved date from the 14th and 15th centuries. In addition to the cathedral, the palace of the archdeacon (Casa de l’Ardiaca) and the seat of the medieval parliament (Palau de la Generalitat) are particularly worth seeing. You can even see the remains of the Roman city wall in the inner courtyard of the Palau Requensens.
