GOTHIC QUARTER BARCELONA

Gothic Quarter Barcelona

The Gothic Quarter (Catalan: Barri Gòtic IPA: [ˈbari ˈɣɔtik] or El Gòtic, Spanish: Barrio Gótico) is the focal point of the old city of Barcelona. It extends from La Rambla to Via Laietana, and from the Mediterranean seafront to the Ronda de Sant Pere. It is a piece of Ciutat Vella region.

The quarter envelops the most established parts of the city of Barcelona and incorporates the remaining parts of the city's Roman divider and a few striking medieval landmarks. Much of the present-day texture of the quarter, be that as it may, dates to the nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries. El Call, the medieval Jewish quarter, is situated inside this zone, alongside the previous Sinagoga Major.

The Barri Gòtic holds an overly complex road design, with numerous little boulevards opening out into squares. The majority of the quarter is shut to consistent activity albeit open to benefit vehicles and taxicabs.

 

Validness of the Gothic Quarter Barcelona

 

Regardless of its name, various point of interest Gothic structures in the area doesn't date to the Middle Ages. Or maybe, in the late nineteenth and mid-twentieth hundreds of years, the quarter was totally changed from a solemn neighborhood to a vacation spot through a monstrous rebuilding venture, coordinated to be finished for the 1929 International Exhibition. This permitted the city and the encompassing locale of Catalonia to depict itself in a positive light to the world's media. A further rebuilding of existing structures and the formation of pristine neo-Gothic structures proceeded as late as the 1960s.

Among the essential structures with remade or altered with neo-Gothic augmentations are:

  • The façade of the Barcelona Cathedral: developed in the vicinity of 1882 and 1913 by Josep Oriol Mestres and August Font I Carreras with an abundance of Gothic-style components.
  • Working of the Center Excursionista de Catalunya (English: Hiking Center of Catalonia) on Carrer Paradís: work by Lluís Domènech I Montaner did in 1922 on a working of unverifiable causes, to which he included Gothic windows, parapets, and merlons.
  • The Flamboyant-style connect that crosses Carrer Bisbe between the Palau de la Generalitat and the Cases dels Canonges: recently developed 1928 by Joan Rubió.
  • Casa Padellàs: right now the Barcelona City History Museum base camp, the building was manufactured around 1500 on Carrer Mercaders, however, it was moved to the Plaça del Rei in 1931 with its inside modified.
