Solve a thrilling criminal case from the 20th century and experience a mystery adventure in Barcelona’s historic centre with your Barcelona City Pass.

You take on the role of an investigator in the year 1914. You receive a message from the public prosecutor’s office – an important person has disappeared and now it’s up to you to solve the mystery and prevent worse things from happening. 

At the pick-up point, you will receive an envelope with the background and initial clues to the mystery that needs to be solved. Based on a true case, you will use your criminalist instincts to search for further clues on a tour of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. 

This mystery tour, which you undertake on your own, lets you experience the old town around the cathedral in a very special way. Like a scavenger hunt, you work your way from one clue to the next.During the tour, you will learn a lot about the Gothic Quarter as well as background information on the true crime case from 1914.The entire tour takes around 2 to 2.5 hours and the participation fee is already included in your Barcelona City Pass. 

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.
