PLACES EXHAURIDES!!

On Saturday, July 11th at 6:00 p.m., we invite you to the tour "La Rambla, a journey through time".

A stroll where visitors will discover the evolution of this emblematic street through a journey in time that highlights its most important periods, allowing all to witness the transformation of this iconic avenue. The heartbeat of La Rambla and its metamorphosis-from a simple streambed to the most walked and sought-after place in the world.

Originally a river valley, La Rambla went from being a natural route for transit and communication-originating in an ancient riverbed-to becoming an important thoroughfare during Roman times, with archaeological remains that testify to the life of the city of Barcino.

In medieval centuries, it solidified as a commercial and social axis, with the creation of markets and the bustling activity of artisans, farmers, basket makers, and potters, along with the creation of iconic spaces.

In the 17th and 18th centuries, La Rambla became a cultural center with the birth of theaters and the arrival of the royal court in Barcelona. From city walls to five gates such as Trentaclaus, the most recently discovered during current works on La Rambla.

With industrialization and the growth of tourism in the 19th century, La Rambla continued to transform itself following European and American trends, becoming a place of commerce and entertainment. In the 20th century, despite social conflicts, new cultural spaces aided its revitalization.

This captivating new perspective offers a surprising and panoramic vision in time of this special and emblematic street, which stands as a living witness, reflecting the changes in the city of Barcelona throughout history.
